A Train is delighted to digitally distribute several titles from the Tesla Electric Company Recordings catalog-Reel to Reel 1, Reel to Reel 2, For Evermore, Twisted Wires and Simplicity– with other titles coming as rights become available. As noted journalist Al Carlos Hernandez said in a recent Herald de Paris interview with Brian Wheat, bassist for Tesla, “TESLA is a multi-platinum American rock band from Northern California known for their melodic songs and down to earth appeal. Thanks to their die-hard, loyal fan base and their younger generation offspring, TESLA continues to tour to sold-out crowds around the world.”
In addition to the Tesla Electric Recording Company, A Train has also been contracted to digitally distribute Brian Wheat’s J Street Records catalog, recordings he has produced and performed on (or both).
A Train is excited to announce our administration of Earle Hagen’s catalogs. Earle is known for his work writing theme songs and scoring such television shows as The Andy Griffith Show, The Mod Squad, I Spy, That Girl, The Danny Thomas Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. All in all, he wrote music for 3000 television episodes.
