About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Dance and electronic
- Description: A classically trained orchestra string bassist from the age of eleven, Amos Larkins II transitioned to the electric bass to practice the Jazz/ Fusion Rock genre that he so admired as a teenager. A natural talent, Amos was fortunate to have studied with the legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius and world-renowned pianist Chick Corea. Amos has participated in workshops with Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Billy Cobham, Jean-Luc Ponty, Al Di Meola and countless others. From the age of 16 he became a studio bassist at the Miami Sound Machine and TK Records studios in Miami where he also learned the art of sound engineering and worked on many sessions as an engineer. While producing music for the ill-fated movie Cry of the CityInch he met Barry Gibb of Bee Gees fame. Gibb allowed Amos to moonlight at his Middle Ear Recording Studios, and it was there that Amos produced some of the first (if not the first) hip-hop music to be heard in Miami, Florida. He took his hip-hop productions that he produced at Barry Gibb Studio and played them for Henry Stone, the legendary music mogul and founder of the highly successful T.K. Records tag. Henry had just formed a new record company by the name of Sunnyview Records. After Stone listened to this new, ground-breaking style of Miami Rap music production, Henry told Amos that he could make lots of money producing this type of music. Amos soon began working as a producer under Stone at the newly formed Sunnyview Records. This is where he came up with and developed the Miami bass genre that continues to inform and influence hip-hop and rap music to this day. Today Amos is widely known as the progenitor of the movement. Album Tracks 1. Takers 2. Sweet Sweet 3. Dime Time 4. Stackin' Stacks 5. 420 4 Lyfe 6. See the Sea 7. Too Mush Work 8. It's So Hard 9.

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987.

The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1.
