White Plains.
White Plains were a British pop music group that recorded and performed from 1969 to 1976. The spinoff of the one-hit-wonder group The Flower Pot Men, they had an ever-changing line-up of musicians and five UK hit singles, all on the Deram Records label, in the early 1970s.
White Plains' first hit came in 1970 with "My Baby Loves Lovin'". Their later successful songs include "I've Got You on My Mind", "Lovin' You Baby", "Julie, Do Ya Love Me", "When You Are a King" and "Step Into a Dream". After "When You Are A King" peaked at number four in Northern Ireland, the group would not release a chart-worthy song for another two years, until they released "Step Into a Dream".
White Plains disbanded in 1976, but it reformed on three occasions: for a brief period in 1978, again for a two-year run from 2004 to 2006, and finally for a summer tour in 2013. White Plains is also known as one of the groups Tony Burrows recorded a series of one-hit wonder songs with.

On New Year's Day, 1962, Decca, looking for a beat group, auditioned two promising young bands: Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and another combo (also heavily influenced by Buddy Holly) from Liverpool, the Beatles. Decca chose Brian Poole and the Tremeloes over the Beatles, reportedly, in part, based on location. The Tremeloes were from the London area, making them more accessible than the Liverpool-based Beatles.

Holland...The Beach Boys.
Holland is the nineteenth studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released January 8, 1973, on Brother/Reprise. It is their first album recorded without Bruce Johnston since 1965, their second with Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar, and their final studio album created under the de facto leadership of Carl Wilson and manager Jack Rieley.
Per its title, Holland was recorded over the summer of 1972 at a barn in Baambrugge, near Amsterdam, where the band members and their entourage had decamped for several months in the pursuit of creative inspiration. Recording the album was an unprecedented and extremely costly venture, as the group had commissioned their engineers to renovate the barn, which had housed an existing studio, using components from the band's studio in Los Angeles that were dismantled, shipped to the Netherlands in crates, and then reassembled. Ultimately, only the album's basic tracks were recorded in the Netherlands.
Holland became regarded by many fans as the Beach Boys' "last, high-quality original album". Music journalist Peter Doggett opined, "After the false start of Carl And The Passions, Holland proved that the Beach Boys could function as a creative rock band beyond the self-imposed limits of their 60s hits." Mojo's Danny Ecleston referred to Holland as his favorite Beach Boys album, as well as their "least-heard (and certainly last) great record."

OdeTo Billie Joe...Bobbie Gentry
Ode to Billie Joe is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry. It was released on August 21, 1967, by Capitol Records.
Gentry was officially signed to Capitol Records on June 23, 1967, and staff producer Kelly Gordon was given "Ode to Billie Joe" as his first full length production for the label. Both of Bobbie’s "demo" tracks became the album masters; the purchased recording of "Mississippi Delta" was the version issued, but "Ode to Billie Joe" had a string arrangement by Jimmie Haskell dubbed onto the original recording at Capitol. It was the day after the string session that Capitol’s A&R team decided definitively that "Ode to Billie Joe" would be the A-side.
Record World named the album as one of their Albums of the Week, saying that "Sensation Bobbie Gentry is as good in album form as she is in single form or just plain form on her Ode to Billie Joe album. She's quite a remarkable entertainer."
Reviewing for AllMusic years later, critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album, "Her vocals are poised and husky throughout the record, on which she was definitely on the right track

Carnegie Hall Concert...Buck Owens & His Buckaroos.
Carnegie Hall Concert is a 1966 album by the country band Buck Owens and his Buckaroos. The album was recorded live at Carnegie Hall, as Buck Owens and his Buckaroos became the second country band ever to perform there.
In his AllMusic review, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote "Owens and the Buckaroos had to deliver a stellar performance, and they did—the group sounded like dynamite, tearing through a selection of their classic hits with vigor. Several decades removed from the performance itself, what really comes through is how musical and gifted the Buckaroos were, particularly Don Rich. For dedicated fans, it's a necessary addition to their collection."
