And (as I've mentioned before) in L.A. there was a daily afternoon movie show on KTTV channel 11 (MetroMedia, eventually the local Fox O&O) called "The Ben Hunter Show" or "Ben Hunter's Movie Matinee." Ben used BMB's "Big Red" as his theme. Ben Hunter would host a "classic" movie (not unlike TCM/TNT's Robert Osborne) giving trivia on that day's movie selection, coming out of and going in to the breaks.
This was how I discovered A&M... Wanting music to play behind my 8mm movies I asked my mom what song that was. She wasn't sure, but thought it was Herb Alpert. So I pawed through my parents' record collection and found some TJB records. I used them extensively with my my pre-ten 8mm and Super 8mm movies, Eventually I found "Big Red" (at a local use record shop -- Pal's Records on Sherman Way) and used it on a student film in 1973 (the only BMB my parents had was For Animals Only).
