Mark Radice by Mark Radice

he recorded records for Jimi Hendrix, The Lovin Spoonful, Spanky And Our Gang, Vanilla Fudge, The Cowsills, Mamas and Papas, Four Seasons (Frankie recorded a song of mine that I wrote when I was 8 called "Natural Morning"), Janis Ian, The Tokens and Chain Reaction featuring Steven Tallarico, I'm tellin' ya it's wild.

Anyway I was signed to RCA records at the age of 7. I met S Tyler when I was ten; he was hired to play drums on a single of mine called "Ten Thousand Year Old Blues" He was then 20, and Steve Tallarico, and really excited to be on a RECORD. Boy does he wish he was me NOW, huh? WHEN I TURNED 20 I joined HIS band, which was doing decidedly better, Aero something, can't remember.....but I'm on their "Live Bootleg" CD.

We now have three more CD's worth of recorded material I did BEFORE this first LP. This was done when I was 14 in 1971.

Luckily over the years I have been fortunate enough to have over 100 artists (I lost count and some I don't even know about) record something or other of mine, including 8 by Cheap Trick, one each by Barbara Streisand, Barry Manilow, Dave Edmunds, Eddie Money, Johnny Mathis, Michael Bolton, Jeff Beck, and about 30 by the Muppets.

This is the only LP that my Dad was the engineer on. He spent two years of his life mixing and remixing it and now

34 years later I have to say this puppy holds up.

There will be more CD's as we bake them. The tentative title for the LARGE collection is "Overlooked and Underheard Volumes 1 through 20"

I'm thinking I should probably go find a farm with a herd of cows, lie under them, and pray they don't stomp on me while we take the "cover" shot....under herd....these will come out one at a time, in chronological order possibly spelled right over the next couple of years.

This record was made with a full orchestra and the top New York musicians of the day including Hugh McCraken (Paul McCartney's then guitarist), Alan Shwartzberg on drums,, Ron Carter on bass, etc.....

For more info about me cause I'm tired of talking about myself already just click the link where it says where my website is, or go to AllMusic.com and type me in there for a list of other CD's and LP's you probably have that I'm on but you didn't know it.

Have a listen and email me if you like it or hate it, just tell me why either way ok? Cool. And thanks for 40 years

(Alright, I probably liked maybe two of the years....not all at once)
