Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss founded A&M Records in 1962 with $200. In 1989, they sold the world's largest independent record label for nearly $500 million.

From Brass to Gold Vol. II assembles A&M and affiliate discographies from 35 countries with major discographies for Great Britain, Canada, Germany and Japan. Artist and title indexes are provided for each country. This is the only international discography of A&M or it affiliates. Designed for record collectors, music lovers, music historians, and popular culture scholars and enthusiasts, and music retailers in discography format, it invites readers to research A&M, an affiliate, a record series or an individual artist.
