~ Release series
Annotation
The A&M Backlot Series was launched in 1996 and effectively ended its run in 1999. There are approximately 25 unique master releases as part of the series. The vast majority of the compilations in the series—featuring artists like Joan Baez, Quincy Jones, Chuck Mangione, Peter Frampton, Procol Harum and Nazareth—were released right at the launch in 1996. A few final trickling entries, such as John Hiatt’s Greatest Hits: The A&M Years '87-'94, extended the series up to 1999 before A&M discontinued it.
