MAMAS AND PAPAS, MINUS CASS, RECORD AGAIN
HOLLYWOOD — The Mamas and Papas will record again, this time for Warlock Records, owned by John Phillips, with financing and distribution by Dunhill Records.
The group was previously a quartet that included Cass Elliot, now a solo artist on Dunhill. Lou Adler will continue to produce all recordings by the trio. John Phillips, Denny Doherty and Michelle Phillips, will also sign and record new artists for their label.
First act the trio signed to the new label is Jamme, a quintet of U.S. and Canadian singers, presently in preparation of finishing their debut LP. Warlock also plans in building a recording studio in Hollywood. The last recording by the Mamas and the Papas were produced in Phillips’ own recording studio in his home in Bel-Air. The Mamas and Papas signed with Adler’s Dunhill Records in September 1965, where they began their successful string of Top 40 hits.
According to Dunhill vice-president Jay Lasker, a lawsuit filed by the company and a counter suit by the group has been settled out of court. END.
