- NoteThe Catalyst for the Piece: There was an ice breaker at a company I was working at which asked us all to put a Powerpoint presentation together (20 slides on a 5 second timer) to tell us something about ourselves that the group don't know. I did mine presentation on the 20 gold records that I had done, quick stories, reciting one liners. What was so cool is that by the end of the presentation everyone was one their feet clapping laughing, they had no idea that this balding middle aged man that the worked with everyday had such a crazy past. And that I had created covers that they collected and listened to as teenagers. That got me thinking. If I recruited all the Art Directors and Photographers that I worked with and had them tell their stories as well, I could tell a history of the record industry from the Beatles to Billy Eilish. This is a swan song to the industry we all loved. Cast List: Interviewees in order of appearance: Neal Preston, Mick Haggerty, Bob Merlis, John Kosh, Roger Dean, Ernie Cefalu, John Van Hamersveld, Chuck Beeson, Henry Diltz, Tom Pope, Jayme Odgers, Craig Braun, Aubrey Powell, Robert Fisher, Tom Nikosey, Jeri Heiden, Tommy Steele, Mike Salisbury, Melanie Nissen, Len Peltier, Lawrence Azerrad, Carl Overr, Jeff Ayeroff, Jeff Gold, Tim Devine, Richard Frankel, Kevin Hosmann, Bonnie Schiffman, Hugh Brown, Masaki Koike, Joseph Abajian, Abbey Konowitch, Eddie Meehan, Alicia Yaffe, Steve Sheldon, Gavin Taylor, Frank Maddocks, Kenny Gravillis and Adam Parsons.
