Beautiful analysis, Byline!

Here are some quotes from Top 40 Democracy--The Rival Mainstreams of American Music (Weisbard,U Chicago Press, 2014):
Herb Alpert "...before a distributor received one album , Jerry Moss made sure they were all paid up on the Single.
That gave us operating cash, and, essentially that was the beginning of A&M Records..." (page 120).
Jerry Moss: " The Company really turned in 1969 on Joe Cocker...We threw everything behind him." (page 129).
I see where, on:
Jerry Dumphy Visits Carpenters Television interview, they are with Jack Daugherty in the Studio...when
overdubs for Hurting Each Others are being recorded.
Also,
Karen Carpenter: "...it took Herb Alpert, who was a musician--he's not the 'business' half of A&M--he saw what he liked musically in it,
and didn't stop to think whether it would sell or not. He just took us because he 'dug' it." (Dumphy Visits Part Three Youtube)
