I saw the Wrecking Crew documentary about three or four years ago at the Cleveland International Film Fest. The jaw dropping account of the band behind so many hit records is a must see for any music fan. The problem has been that with so many songs sampled throughout the film it's been impossible for the creators to get a license bigger than the festival circuit. The record companies simply wanted too much money for use of the songs. It's ironic since the movie is an homage to the industry and would surely spark record sales of some of this material.
Finally, Magnolia Pictures has picked up distribution of the documentary. It rolls out in limited release this month, landing at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland Heights on Friday March 20. After that it will be available on DVD.
Here's a story on it from Sunday's New York Post, The unknown super group behind rock-n-roll's most iconic albums.
