唱片名廠A&M Records,由Herb Alpert和Jerry Moss兩人取其姓氏字首命名,於1962年成立。最初名稱是Carnival Records,兩人還於旗下發表過兩張單曲;因為Carnival Records早已被註冊使用,隨後便正式更名為A&M Records。走過70年代的耕耘鞏固期,80年代的意氣風發時期,在1989年賣給PolyGram Records,1998年PolyGram Records與Universal Music合併,成為立足全球的最大唱片集團。
經過50年音樂洗禮,A&M Records陸續打造出許多國際巨星,風格多元的創立子公司,並培訓更多優秀音樂家。這張慶祝創廠50歲生日的精選特輯,跨界收錄代表藝人/團體的暢銷歌曲,以3CD珍藏60首曲目,一同見證A&M名廠的光輝歲月!包括:身擁5首冠軍曲+28張入榜專輯+8座葛萊美獎+14張白金和15張金唱片專輯的創辦人Herb Alpert,以Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass樂團形式首於A&M發行的全美TOP6名曲“The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro)”,還有以個人名義推出的冠軍作“Rise”;流行天后Janet Jackson搶下美國排行后冠的“When I Think Of You”;福音界名伶Amy Grant最具突破性之作“Baby Baby”;加拿大粗獷嗓音搖滾天王Bryan Adams的“Run To You”;詩情紳士Sting個人單飛以及與樂團The Police推出的“If You Love Somebody Set Them Free”和“Roxanne”;將Bossa Nova推向流行的大師Stan Getz的“Amorous Cat”;靈魂樂界性感之聲Barry White的“Practice What You Preach”;浩室舞曲女伶CeCe Peniston的國歌“Finally”;還有重搖滾天團Styx、Nazareth,以及另類風潮代表Soundgarden、Gin Blossoms…等精彩轟動大作一次到位!
