• Check out this rare newspaper clipping introducing Emitt's very first band, The Emerals. Poor Emitt, they misspelled his name. Certainly not the last time that would happen...

Thanks to John Gardner, a former member of the Emerals and friend of Emitt, for digging this article up for us.

• Cover of the "Fresh As A Daisy" sheet music.

• Cover of the "Live Till You DIe" sheet music. The publisher showed breathtaking creativity and diversity when deciding which images to put on the covers...

• This is an interesting piece. It is a lyric sheet to Emitt's first album that was sent out to radio stations upon the album's release. What makes this copy interesting is that one of the disc jockeys or content coordinators listened to the album while reading over the lyrics and wrote comments by some of the songs, giving his opinion on which were best suited to the radio. And he differentiated between what was just a good radio song and what was a good "FM song." Interesting how that distinction was still made.

• After other members of M-G-R protested the fact that "You're A Very Lovely Woman" was included on The American Dream, A&M released a different version of the album with a new cover that omitted the song. Or so goes one version of the story... Click the image to the left to see the front and back of this alternate cover.

• M-G-R appeared on the Dating Game in 1968. Watch the episode or check out some screen-grabs here.

• This is a copy of the official A&M Emitt Rhodes biography sent out by the press office around the time of The American Dream.
