AMBROSIA MUSIC, MEMORABILIA, & ARCHIVAL PHOTOS

Ambrosia...

I remember the moment in 1975 when I first heard Ambrosia. It was in Strawberry (or was it Raspberry?) Records in San Francisco, strolling down the aisles as I often did, when this music playing on the background music system stopped me in my tracks. It was something unusual, yet familiar - art rock that stretched somewhere between Pink Floyd and the Beach Boys. Inventive themes and arrangements, songs with both edge and sophistication, sailing harmonies, humorous touches, and an overall level of skill and imagination that I craved in my music-listening.

I instantly approached the front desk to find out who this discovery was, and bought Ambrosia's debut album as fast as I could find it. To my delight on returning home I found that it was not one of those two-good-songs-and-the-rest-filler kind of LPs – it was literally chocked full of great music and production from start to finish. Almost too much to imagine from a group I hadn't heard of before, and incredibly mixed by uber-engineer Alan Parsons, of "Dark Side of The Moon" fame. I devoured the music and savored the sonic memories, appreciating that this was something special, well beyond the radio fare of the times

Finally...from Somewhere in the 70's...David Pack's Ambrosia Archival Mystery Trunk has been located!
