From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Producers were a new wave and power pop band from Atlanta, Georgia in the 1980s. Original members included Van Temple on guitar and vocals, former Whiteface member Kyle Henderson on bass and vocals, former Billy Joe Royal sideman Wayne Famous on keyboards, and Brian Holmes on Drums. Originally formed as a Beatles cover band named Cartoon, they changed musical directions and began performing their own material in nightclubs around the Atlanta area. The response to their music was so good that they were quickly signed to CBS subsidiary Portrait Records by Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon and Mother's Finest producer Tom Werman. They released two albums for the Portrait label, The Producers (1981) and You Make the Heat (1982). The Producers quickly became a regional favorite in the southeastern United States, propelling "What She Does to Me" onto the national Billboard Magazine singles charts. They toured extensively opening for Cheap Trick, and The Motels. "She Sheila" from their second album was a popular MTV video. They headlined MTV's New Year's Rockin Eve in 1982.

Despite this success, Portrait Records dropped the band after only two albums. Kyle Henderson became a born-again Christian and left the band shortly after they were dropped to record a solo album for Kerry Livgren's Christian rock label, Kerygma Records and was replaced by future Jellyfish and Umajets bassist Tim Smith. The next Producers album, Run For Your Life, was released in 1985 on a small Atlanta-based independent label. That album featured a collaboration between The Producers and Kansas, "Can't Cry Anymore," a song which appeared on both Run For Your Life and the 1986 Kansas album Power. The Producers regained a major label contract in the late 1980s with MCA Records and recorded what was to be their fourth album, Coelacanth, but the band was one of several dropped in a 1989 label purge at MCA before the album could be released. Coelacanth was finally released in 2001. The band "retired" as a going concern in 1989 but still plays reunion shows around the Atlanta area from time to time.

Awesome! I have been looking for the Producer's first two albums forever.

You are the man!

walknthabass 24. December 2006, 16:57

Glad you found them!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Many thanks for this - I have had their third album for years but have been looking for the first two. Can't seem to get the first one (and Terry Reids The Driver) from Rapidshare.de at the moment but hopefully it is just a glitch- I get through the timer and enter the password but it keeps coming back download session invalid. Thanks in advance for those as well though. Great site!
Cheers
Steve

Terrie Reid "The Driver" seems to be working OK. These older RS (.de) links should be good through February 19th.

The Producers link seems to be working too, but I went ahead and changed the link to a RS.COM link.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Intrepidsjc 27. February 2007, 03:39

this link no longer works...how do I get these recordings by the producers? Thanks in advance!

Scott

walknthabass 2. March 2007, 03:23

Both links are still working! Try again.

claymonster 6. August 2007, 16:15

Wow.
I just got through recording my vinyl copy of "you make the heat" last night, because I could never find it anywhere on CD or ripped by anyone...
So, today, I happen to find this! Crazy. However, the RS link is coming up "file not found". I know this is an old post, but if you have the inclination to re-up the rar, it would save me the process of "fixing up" my files and doing this from scratch.

I don't know if I've got anything that might interest you as a trade, I am in the process of ripping the Mother's Finest debut albums (one from 1972 on RCA and the other on Epic from 1976) -- when they're up, I'll let you know. Since both bands are out of Atlanta, I thought that might be a connection you may dig!

Peace,

Clay
PS: I did get the first album, link is still good! Thanks a million!

walknthabass 8. August 2007, 02:40

Hi Clay,

Sorry about that. I'm looking for it right now and will re-up as soon as I can.

Would love to hear Mother's Finest again! I remember having them back when they first came out in my record store days.

UPDATE!
Re-Upped! Sorry I lost the scanned artwork and had to re-encode from my original WAV files. Didn't have time to re-do the tags! But enjoy!!

claymonster 8. August 2007, 06:35

Thanks so much for the re-up (and the re-encoding! Sorry you had to do all that work!).

I have two different guys working on cleaning up the MF files, and I think they are going to end up sounding better than the originals, especially in the case of the 1972 release.
Mother's Finest own web site (they're still touring and recording) talks about how they didn't like the record, because the producers added horns and strings and "softened up" their sound. It's still pretty cool - I mean, c'mon, it's Mother's Finest!

Thanks again, and keep an eye peeled for the MF links. You'll have them as soon as I do!

Peace,
Clay

walknthabass 8. August 2007, 23:05

Thanks Clay! I had to re-do those and re-up because I wouldn't want anyone missing out on this great music.! I look forward to the links. Which reminds me I need to get busy and find some more stuff to post!

claymonster 9. August 2007, 23:53

OK,

Here's the first one (Mother's Finest RCA release - 1972). I am not totally happy with the audio quality, however. There's a bit of noise that's bugging me -- and I'm doing some experimentation to see if it's actually the record, my stylus, my sound card or what... If I can record a cleaner version, I'll keep you in the loop. In the meantime:

Take care!

walknthabass 10. August 2007, 01:47

Thanks claymonster! I'll be listening to this at the office tomorrow!

Much appreciated!

Let me know if you don't want this link posted in the comments and I'll remove it.

claymonster 12. August 2007, 01:07

Feel free to leave the link. People need to hear this record! By the way, I do believe I can get a cleaner recording. It will take a little while, I'll let you know here when it's up.

walknthabass 12. August 2007, 02:40

It's really great! Thanks a bunch! I hear that little bit of noise but it doesn't bother me. But if you get a cleaner one I'll sure take it!

claymonster 21. August 2007, 20:36

OK, here's the 1976 Epic 'debut' Mother's Finest album!

This one sounds pretty dang good, if I do say so myself. I'm still working on a cleaner version of the '72 release...

walknthabass 22. August 2007, 01:17

Thanks Clay! Or Mr.Monster! I really appreciate this!

I am finally digitizing something new (old)! Had a request from a friend (A.J.) for Mason Proffit "Wanted" (1969). Boy, if you like country-rock (Poco, etc.) it's a good-un! I should have it posted later or tomorrow (depending on how long it takes to scan and stitch the cover together).

when i use the pass bassoprofundo it only extracts one song. Any Help? Thanks, Frank.

walknthabass 18. June 2008, 03:09

I dunno!

What are you extracting it with? I just downloaded it as a test and extracted the whole thing using WINRAR. Works great!
