Amos Records
Amos Records was an independent record label established in Los Angeles, California by Jimmy Bowen,[1] in 1968. The label was located on 6565 Sunset Boulevard, and had an additional office branch in New York City. With Bowen producing most of Amos Records' music artists, the label released material from 1968 to 1971, and was best remembered for issuing an album by Longbranch Pennywhistle, which consisted of material from future contributors to The Eagles. Other notable artists included Bing Crosby, Mel Carter, and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.[2][3] Some of Amos' later releases were distributed by Bell Records.
