London Records has signed
the Cowsills, according to Walt
Maguire, Vice President, Pop A
& R. The internationally famed
family act, which enjoyed a
string of major single hits, have
already completed work on
their first London single, "On
My Side," for rush release.
The new deal, in addition to
the U. S. and Canada, covers
the world through the distribution
outlets of London's parent
firm, the Decca Record Company
of England, Ltd. Maguire
noted that the news of the signing
was greeted by reps of the
international Decca distributing
network attending the recent
MIDEM Convention at Cannes.
An LP has also been produced
by Bud Cowsill, and is
being set for an early spring
release date. Nine of the 10
tunes in the album were written
by the members of the
group during a recent successful
nation-wide tour.
The London deal, which
brings to market the first disc
by the group in over a year,
was negotiated by Maguire with
Bud Cowsill and the group's
recently pacted new manager,
Leon Morrell.
