Together records was a west coast label that started in 1969 as a joint venture between producers
Gary Usher, Curt Boettcher and Keith Olsen. Some of the missing numbers were solo albums planned
for Millenium members Curt Boettcher and Sandy Salisbury.
Together shared a catalog numbering sequence with American International Records and L&R Records,
all of which were distributed by MGM after catalog number 1028. Early (pre-MGM) records on the
Together label were interesting, and included Preflyte by the Byrds, an early Danny Cox album,
and a various artists album featuring obscure performances by well-known Los Angeles performers.
By 1970, most of the issues were on the A.I.R. label. American International Records was the arm of
American International Pictures, and featured soundtrack albums from AIP's grade B movies. The
records themselves were manufactured by Forward Record Corporation and distributed by MGM. The
early AIR label was black and red, which was later changed to a red and yellow design.
Somehow, mixed into the numbering sequence was Bobby Bloom's album on the L&R label. L&R was a
New York based label.

the title. Reissued on CD on Sugar Hill SH-3719 with a rearranged track sequence and several bonus
tracks. Fair And Tender Ladies/Winsborough Cotton Mill Blues/Wheel Hoss/Farethewell/Goin' Up/With

ST-T-1014 - Early L.A.: Archive Series, Vol. IV - Various Artists [1969] The artists given
