FUNK A&MERICA
It's debatable
whether FunkA&Merica was an actual label as such, but it had its own
dedicated label design and sleeve so I've decided to give it the benefit of
the doubt. Starting in August 1978 and continuing for a period of around twelve months an
occasional series of records were released by A&M under the
'FunkA&Merica' banner. Most of them were three-track maxi-singles but
a few only had two tracks. There was a matching 12" series, which had
the same numbers but AMSP prefixes. The name tells you what the music on
the records was like. The sleeves had the same basic design, but each
one listed the titles that were on the single and featured a picture of the
group. Catalogue numbers were taken from the main A&M AMS-7000
series. I think that the discography below lists all of the '70s releases
but I'm open to correction. FunkA&Merica was revived in 1982 for a
short period, with the same design of label and sleeves; catalogue numbers for
those singles were in the USA-2200s (USAF-2200s for
12").
