Gold & Rainbow: The Warner Bros. Years 1969- 1978 (clamshell)

Ten albums from the 'Summer Breeze' songwriters' time at Warner Bros. Despite epitomizing the platinum selling Californian soft rock sound that dominated the US airwaves throughout the mid-1970s, both Jim Seals and Darrell 'Dash' Crofts originally hailed from Texas. Formed in 1969 in Los Angeles, Seals and Crofts released their self-titled debut the same year, followed by 'Down Home' in 1970. Warner Bros. Records were the ideal home for their mellow, acoustic based sound, with whom they signed in 1971 for 'Year of Sunday'. Seals and Crofts and Warner Bros. finally struck gold with 1972's 'Summer Breeze', a worldwide smash that year, which was subsequently covered and a global hit for The Isley Brothers.
