Omnivore Recordings is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 2010 by music industry veterans Cheryl Pawelski, Greg Allen, Dutch Cramblitt, and Brad Rosenberger, the label specializes in preserving legacies and music created by historical, heritage, and catalog artists. They are also known for releasing previously unissued and newly found "lost" recordings.

With a mission to honor the rich musical history of artists from various genres, Omnivore Recordings has acquired the catalogs of renowned musicians such as *The Buck Owens Estate*, *Big Star*, and *Game Theory* in 2017. This acquisition further solidifies their commitment to preserving important musical works that may have otherwise been forgotten or lost.

With a dedication to quality sound restoration and comprehensive liner notes, they provide listeners with an immersive experience into the artist's world.

Demos, home recordings and previously unissued songs from the first three America albums. Their earliest recordings, available on vinyl for the first time. Liner notes by founding member Dewey Bunnell. In 1967, Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek met in high school. Sons of U.S. servicemen stationed in England, the three teenagers ultimately formed a band that was inspired by the British Invasion. Soon they began writing their own style that would soon achieve popularity worldwide. The group signed to Warner Bros. Records London in 1971 and needed a name . . . they chose America. On this album you hear the group’s earliest recordings recorded before America’s multi-platinum eponymously titled debut album from Chalk Hill Farm Studios, outside of London as well as previously unissued songs from Gerry Beckley’s Buzz Studios (his home in West Hollywood during the early ’70s). Follow the muse, as the band demos previously unissued songs (Sea Of Destiny, Man Of Pride) and early versions of America deep cuts (Riverside and Here). Highlights From Heritage: Home Recordings / Home Demos 1970–1973 offers an up close and personal portrait of a band primed for stardom, creating classic songs that would still resonate almost 50 years later­—on vinyl—as nature intended!
