Private Stock

The label was founded by Larry Uttal after he left Bell Records . The label primarily focused on pop music and had numerous hit records , many of them one-hit wonders , including singles by David Soul of Starsky and Hutch fame (" Don't Give Up on Us "), Starbuck (" Moonlight Feels Right "), Austin Roberts (" Rocky "), Samantha Sang (" Emotion "), Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band (" A Fifth of Beethoven "), Cyndi Grecco (" Making Our Dreams Come True ", a.k.a. the theme song to Laverne & Shirley ) and Frankie Valli (" My Eyes Adored You ", " Swearin' to God ", " Our Day Will Come "). The label also released Brownsville Station 's album with the same name, and the singles "The Martian Boogie" and "(Lady) Put the Light on Me" in 1977. Even during 1976 and 1977 Jose Feliciano released two albums on the label, "Sweet Soul Music" (produced by Jerry Wexler ) and "Angela" (soundtrack of the movie Aaron Loves Angela ). More indicative of the label's nature, Private Stock issued for the US in 1976 a compilation of Rod Stewart 's work with Steampacket and the Hoochie Koochie Men culled from mid-1960s live shows in the UK while the singer was transitioning from Mercury Records to Warner Brothers. In the early 1980s a Stray Cats compilation appeared in stores, ostensibly a licensee of Capitol Records but debatable as to whether it was even the same company.
