Solid Brass Records

Welcome to Solid Brass Records, the home of Jamie and Guyden Records and its affiliated companies. With a rich history dating back to 1954, Jamie/Guyden has been at the forefront of the music industry for decades. Originally distributed by Gone and End Records, labels owned by legendary entrepreneur George Goldner, Jamie and Guyden quickly made a name for themselves with hits like *Why Do Fools Fall in Love?* by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

In 1955, Universal Record Distributing Corp. was founded as a regional distributor for Philadelphia, eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware. Alongside distributing labels such as Cadence Records (home to artists like Everly Brothers), A&M (featuring Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass), Chess, ABC Paramount, MGM, Epic Records, and George Goldner's labels; Jamie/Guyden had their own successful releases including Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser" and Mitchell Torok’s "Caribbean."

Throughout the 1960s, Jamie/Guyden continued to thrive both through their own output and national distribution deals. Notably distributing Phil Spector’s Philles Records with hits like *Be My Baby* by The Ronettes. They also launched their own r&b and soul label called *Phil-LA of Soul*, which produced Cliff Nobles’ "The Horse" among others.

The Pines of Rome is a slowcore band from Providence, Rhode Island, who've been exploring the frontiers of Cosmic American Music on and off for the past 25 years, dialling down the tempo and turning up the volume to create tidal walls of sound that surge and break like the turbulent Atlantic waves that batter the shores of the smallest state in the Union.

The Unstruck Bell&nbsp;is the newest offering from John Kolodij (guitar), Matthew Derby (guitar/vocals), and Rick Prior (drums) since playing their last show over 20 years ago. Recorded by Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets, it is the result of a year of unbridled creativity for the band during an era of unprecedented crisis. "If you think about a bell as an alarm, and all of its tolls are stored as potential energy in its atoms...that just feels like the time we're living through right now," Derby says of the album. It is a record of caution and hope, a hymn for the future that contains the band's strongest-ever work.
