Description
[Machine Translation] The startling truth behind these masterpieces. The one and only musical group behind it all. The documentary, which took Denny, son of the famous guitarist Tommy Tedesco, almost 20 years to complete, is now available in a gorgeous 2-disc set that includes over 6.5 hours of bonus material not included in the theatrical release! The Wrecking Crew was a Los Angeles-based session group of top musicians active in the 1960s and 1970s. They are the shadow warriors who destroyed the old concept of the music industry and produced a vast number of masterpieces with their outstanding performance skills. In the 1960s and 1970s, the golden age of American pop and rock 'n' roll, these musicians continued to create melodies that have left their mark on history. The "Wrecking Crew," as they were called, were never credited on records or in the limelight.... Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Simon & Garfunkel, The Carpenters, The Monkees, The Beach Boys e.t.c. Who played the songs of the superstars that everyone loved? -- When Tommy Tedesco, the legendary guitarist of the Wrecking Crew, was diagnosed with lung cancer in the late 1990s, his son Denny picked up a camera to capture as much footage as possible. It all began. After several years of interviews with Brian Wilson, Cher, Nancy Sinatra, Herb Alpert, and many others, the film was completed in 2008, featuring all of the historical songs performed by the Wrecking Crew. The film was screened at over 50 festivals to critical acclaim, but it was discovered that $500,000 was needed for the use of the 131 songs in the film for theatrical release. After collecting donations from all kinds of people and securing about half of the money, and raising about $310,000 on Kickstarter, the largest amount ever raised for a documentary, and adding new interview footage, the film was released in March 2015 after 18 years of filming. After 18 years of filming, the film was released in the U.S. in March 2015. Leaflet enclosed.
