Is that even the point?
Of A&M? I don't know, what was their mission statement?
Huge quantities of drugs, schtooping starlets and maybe selling some records - standard 70's record company policy

A Saturday morning spent mixing Tijuana Brass and breaks is not a wasted Saturday morning. Tijuana Bass anyone?

Big fan of the Herb
Apart from his easy-latin flavoured outtings mentioned above I'm especially fond of "Rise" from 85. So smooth and funky not to forget containing a rather noticeable sample:
