STUDIO WEST

STUDIO WEST

STUDIO WEST was created by V.S.O.P. RECORDS in conjunction with HINDSIGHT RECORDS in 1990. HINDSIGHT RECORDS had recently purchased the Programs, Inc. catalog of recordings which consisted of numerous sessions by hundreds of artists that were recorded for use in connection with various armed services recruitment and broadcast shows. Most of the recordings were used in a show entitled "The Navy Swings", hosted by George Fenneman of "You Bet Your Life" fame. The sessions date back in some cases to the late 1950's and run up to the early 1970's. Almost every type of popular music is represented, including rock, country, jazz, and easy listening. HINDSIGHT RECORDS, allowed V.S.O.P. RECORDS to select material for the releases on STUDIO WEST, with the exception of Ray Rivera's "Nightwind" which was recorded for Hindsight, but which Tom requested to be released on STUDIO WEST.
