1CD - USED - Like New - Jewel Box - Import on Bear Family Records

In 1949, the venerable movie studio, Paramount Pictures, spun off its theater division. Almost immediately, the president of the new company, Leonard Goldenson, began discussions with a struggling radio chain, ABC, which had itself been spun off by NBC eight years earlier to avoid antitrust action. ABC-Paramount was created in May 1951, although the merger wasn't approved until February 1953. The new company was the only radio-television conglomerate without a record label until Sam Clark was hired to organize ABC-Paramount Records in June 1955. 

The first records appeared that November. Clark had served with the US Navy during the war before becoming a radio salesman, a record salesman, and then co-owner of a distributorship, Music Suppliers, in Boston. Music Suppliers handled Savoy, National, Deluxe, and other labels, and Clark was so successful that ABC recruited him to start its new label from scratch. Subsidiary publishing firms, Ampco (ASCAP) and Pamco (BMI), were set up at the same time.

ABC's biggest moneyspinner in its early days was Mickey Mouse Records. Disney's owner, Walt Disney, was the first major studio chief to see the potential of television productions, and had already sold the 'Disneyland' and 'Zorro' series to ABC TV (ABC-Paramount later invested in and underwrote Disney's first amusement park in return for a 34.48% share). It was probably the success of the Davy Crockett episodes of 'Disneyland' that persuaded ABC to enter the record business. 

The episodes' hit song, The Ballad Of Davy Crockett, was given to Cadence Records and became a #1 hit. ABC realized that with its own label, it could have grabbed that hit. Around the same time, Paramount Pictures (which by this point had no relationship with ABC-Paramount) entered the record business the easy way by buying Dot Records.

Soon after launching ABC-Paramount Records, Sam Clark hired arranger Don Costa, who proved surprisingly adept at A&R'ing rock 'n' roll sessions, considering that his heart lay elsewhere. Clark also cut deals with smaller labels, purchasing breaking hits, and acquiring labels such as Grand Award/Command in 1959 and Westminster in 1961. 

ABC tried to make its record label into a major player with the acquisition of Duke-Peacock Records in 1972 and Gulf+Western's record division, which included Dot, in 1974, but ABC eventually offloaded its record label to MCA in 1979. ABC-Paramount Records was history shortly before its twenty-fifth birthday.

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing read
Format: Kindle
This book was eloquently written, or should I say the authors writing style is very eloquent? I loved the characters, and the story was quite compelling. I absolutely loved the FMC, she's a BA who doesn't take any crap & gives as good as she gets. A certain person certainly got his just desserts & then some, the earlier scenes of which were quite satisfying, had me punching the air & everything haha. All in all 20/10, great read

My opinion
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying I really liked the story and the characters however, this book is in desperate need of some sort of editing. It's not misspelled words or formatting, but continuous run on sentences. Redundancies within the sentences. There were a couple of paragraphs that I had to go back and reread 3 or 4 times. Overall, I'd say it was worth the read.

Beautiful
Format: Kindle
I love omegaverses I had looked at this one multiple times thinking it's just another book about cocky rock star guys that let fame get to their heads and there are parts like that so I wasn't 100% off. I started reading the second book and met the fmc Astraea from the first one,after she had a run in with the aphla from the gym.😁 it gave me the push to stop and read book one first and im so glad I did this book was amazing their was so many characters I fell in love with hoping they will find their happily ever after. the guys were great, the plot was 🎯, and the ending had me 😭😭😭. I was wondering how nate could ever redeem himself, and he did. the last scene with him was sad, but I also felt it was beautiful. thank you to the author for making a beautiful omegaverse book that gave me all the feels. now I'm jumping straight into book two.
