BRAD McCUEN COLLECTION

Series C: Country Harvest

1989 - 1995

.21 linear feet

This series consists of materials related to artists, recordings, and domestic promotion, and were generated in McCuen’s capacity as part-owner of Country Harvest Records, Inc. Materials include biographical information, cassette tape j-cards, correspondence, label and recording information, liner notes, promotional press releases, and tune lists. Folders are arranged chronologically, and folder titles supplied by McCuen are enclosed in quotation marks.

Series D: Record Company Ephemera

1935 - 1994

3.58 linear feet (part in oversize)

This series includes a variety of ephemeral materials gathered or generated by McCuen and related to his work in the above record companies. They include photographs, recording ads, album slicks, and album covers, posters, ads, copy proofs, and newspaper clippings and issues.

The photographs (.42 l.f., 1940-1989) include studio shots, candid shots, publicity/press photos, and only few contact sheets and negatives. The subjects include RCA and MEGA artists, personnel, and associates, while also including images of various performers and performances not necessarily associated with either of the labels. There are some photographs associated with NARAS, SESAC, and his consulting projects as well (and grouped among the rest for physical proximity). The photographs, most of which had been in one stack (with only a few culled from existing folders), are arranged alphabetically by subject.

Oversized ephemeral materials (1.42 l.f., 1955-1975) include LP album record jackets, record sleeves, album inserts, album cover slicks, release notices, liner note proofs, label copy proofs, cassette j-card copy proofs, artist and label promotional posters, “best album cover” nominee posters, publicity flyers, advertisements, best seller blanket ad mats, and a poster-sized song index. Of special interest are blueprints for the MEGA office building and its studio console. These materials were unarranged among McCuen’s collection, and have been housed in an oversize box (#45) and an XL-oversized drawer.

Newspapers (1.75 l.f., 1935-1994) found among McCuen’s papers include clippings or whole issues from various daily and weekly publications, mostly trade related. Subjects include performers, performances, and reviews, but also include articles about McCuen and his work. These are unarranged within an oversize box (#46). Preservation photocopies of these materials are filed among appropriate folders within the various series from which they originated or to which they are best associated.

Series E: Sound Recordings (manuscript)

1928-1984

12.01 linear feet [6.86 l.f. (stacks); 5.15 l.f. (cabinets)]

This series consists of manuscript sound recordings of various formats and sizes. Included among them are instantaneous discs, test pressings, reference lacquers, and transcription discs. Also included are McCuen’s original reel-to-reel audio tapes and CPM reel-to-reel tape preservation copies of the instantaneous discs.

These recordings document issued, reissued, and unissued studio performances, soundchecks, live concerts and private parties, radio broadcasts and commercials, demo and audition recordings, v-discs, interviews, readings, audio letters, and copies of issued materials. The recordings represent products of IAJRC, Koala, Mega, RCA, and Verve labels (among others), and document a wide range of musical genres. Many of these recordings have been generated by the various offices McCuen worked with, while some had been obtained from other sources for the purposes of reissuing, referencing, and auditioning.

The recordings are arranged according to format and CPM control numbers. They are located in the stacks adjacent to the rest of the McCuen Collection, and in the record cabinets. A full listing of the box contents of the manuscript recordings and reel-to-reel tapes can be found in the collections inventory and the addendum of Center-generated finding aids at the end of the collection.

Series F: Country Music Association (CMA)

1961 - 1995

.21 linear feet

This series consists primarily of lists of nominees for Country Music Association awards and biographies of nominees for the Country Music Hall of Fame, many marked by McCuen with his selections. Also included are personal and multi-copy letters received by McCuen from CMA officers and staff along with scattered news releases and programs from CMA events, some annotated by McCuen, and minutes from board meetings when McCuen served as a director. Serial CMA publications originally filed with this series were transferred to the Center serials collection.

Series G: National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS)

1965 - 1995

1.04 linear feet

Included in this series are rules, procedures and minutes of the Board of Governors and other committees of the Nashville chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; lists of members and their addresses and of the nominees for NARAS officers and for the awards given by NARAS, often accompanied by brief biographies; and ballots for the Grammy Awards and Hall of Fame sponsored by the national organization. There is also one folder of material, 1967, from the New York chapter of NARAS of which McCuen was then a member.

These materials are arranged alphabetically by subject, most created by McCuen. Dates on multiple folders related to a particular subject overlap, and material within each subject is not in chronological or other apparent order. Also, material on a subject, especially the Grammy and Hall of Fame awards, has been filed under multiple subjects. NARAS related photographs are found in Series D (Record Company Ephemera).

Series H: Society of European Stage Authors and Composers

1961-1980

.42 linear feet

This series begins with a folder of material documenting the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC) compiled by McCuen when he began working as SESAC director of country music in 1975. CPM staff subsequently added other pre-1975 SESAC materials to this same folder. There follow two types of post-1975 materials, each arranged chronologically: correspondence, primarily between McCuen and SESAC members, clients and staff, and SESAC publications including pamphlets, press releases, and rate cards. Included in each year are separate folders of materials from SESAC award ceremonies compiled by McCuen. The series ends with a folder of production notes, song lyrics, correspondence and legal documents related to Tex Martin, for whom McCuen served as producer, 1973-1975. SESAC related photographs can be found in Series D (Record Company Ephemera).

SUBGROUP THREE: INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL PURSUITS

Series I: Consulting

1964 - 1995

2.92 linear feet

This series includes correspondence, song lists, liner notes, research materials, and business and legal records related to projects undertaken by McCuen after he retired from the commercial recording industry. Many files include the detailed biographical and discographical information about and/or McCuen’s own recollections of individual performers and performances. There are three presentations about his experiences in the music business given by McCuen to industry seminars.

The majority of the files were generated by reissue projects with which McCuen was involved or by his appraisals of master tapes, recordings and record collections for potential commercial or market value. Also included are files compiled by McCuen in response to requests from individual researchers; files related to a series of radio interviews conducted by McCuen; files related to court cases in which McCuen served as an expert witness; and files documenting industry-related public events which he helped organize. Materials related to a single project may be filed in multiple locations within this series and/or filed in other series as well.

The files are arranged alphabetically by the name of the project, individual or company. Folder titles supplied by McCuen are enclosed in quotation marks; all others were established by Center staff.

A selected list of correspondence and artists associated with each project can be found in the Addendum of Center-generated finding aids at the end of the collection. Daily calendars and bookkeeping records from this period are filed in Series N.

Series J: Professional Interests

1.04 linear feet

This series includes a variety of secondary materials related to the music industry received, collected, and used by McCuen after his retirement from the commercial industry. The materials are arranged alphabetically by subject headings assigned by Center staff. Among the publications are performer lists and discographies, some annotated by McCuen. This series includes newsletters, articles, reviews, and ads; publicity and press manuals; bulletins, programs, and pamphlets; song and album lists; expense sheets, receipts; catalogs.

This series also contains McCuen’s correspondence and resumes related to his personal search for employment. There is correspondence received by McCuen from recording industry colleagues and organizations after his retirement, and requests from writers for help with biographies of performers, which may include discographical and biographical information from these correspondents about their subjects, along with a few scattered letters by McCuen.

SUBGROUP FOUR: JAZZ PURSUITS

Series K: Jazz Organizations (IAJRC, Tennessee Jazz and Blues Society)

This series includes album sequence sheets, articles, auction lists, ballots, bills and receipts, biographical sketches, convention plans and schedules, correspondence, label copy, newsletters, notes, and record catalogs generated by McCuen’s membership on the board of the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors. Of interest is an interview with McCuen highlighting his involvement with recording reissues, and Bruce Davidson’s obituaries and related correspondence.

This series also includes materials generated by McCuen’s involvement with the Tennessee Jazz & Blues Society and consists of articles, concert flyers, correspondence, membership lists and renewal notices, newsletters, notes, program ideas, and radio airplay reports.

Folders in this subgroup are arranged alphabetically by subject headings assigned by CPM staff, and folder titles supplied by McCuen are enclosed in quotation marks.

Series L: “Upbeat” Radio Program Scripts

1979 – 1985. 1994.

1.25 linear feet

This series consists primarily of scripts and program notes for McCuen’s jazz radio program, “Upbeat: Sixty Minutes of Jazz,” for as long as McCuen and co-host Bruce Davidson aired the program. It also includes articles, correspondence, and notes related to the planning of (and response to) the programs. Folders in this subgroup are arranged chronologically by program number. Folder titles supplied by McCuen are enclosed in quotation marks.

SUBGROUP FIVE: PERSONAL PAPERS

Series: M: Daily Calendars

1958-1970. 1974-1979. 1985

.83 linear foot (24 volumes)

This series is made up of bound volumes in which McCuen intermittently recorded information about his professional and business activities in daily logs. Most of the volumes are appointment calendars in which McCuen entered professional events, primarily appointments and meetings, and personal appointments and anniversaries and occasionally noted recording sessions and project deadlines as well. There are also business expense records from the years 1974-1976 and 1978.

Series N: Record Collection

1940 - 1996

5.63 linear feet

This series consists of materials that document the acquisition, arrangement, content, indexing, and divestment of McCuen’s own personal record collection. The documentation includes auction lists, collection inventory lists, correspondence, inventory index cards, notes, purchase requests, and recording catalogs. This series also contains the booklets, inserts, sleeves, and inserts that accompanied record albums in his collection.

The materials are organized in three different categories. The first category of auction and inventory lists, and correspondence, are arranged alphabetically by type of material. Except for the folders titled in quotes, these have been arranged by CPM staff.

The second category, the card index inventory of his collection, is further organized into groups by McCuen according to his needs. These groupings include Country and Western Hits, miscellaneous, Bluebird label, two sections of Glenn Miller, and a section arranged by date. Seven more boxes of cards index the songs in his collection. Detailed descriptions of card indexes are included in the manuscripts index.

The third category, album accompanying materials, are housed in an oversized box with no arrangement. The shelf space measurement reflects only the manuscripts associated with his collection, not the shelf space taken by the actual recordings themselves. Of the nearly 25,000 commercial LPs, 78s, and 45s in McCuen’s personal collection, no shelf measurements or listing of titles are available.

Series O: Personal Correspondence

1939 - 1992

1.04 linear feet

This series consists of correspondence between McCuen and Jack Quinn of Glen Cove Long Island, New York, concerning recording projects on which they collaborated; their personal lives; mutual friends; and current events including politics, the music business, movies, videos and books. Both writers also frequently reminisce about their childhood and their experiences during World War II. Created and compiled by McCuen between 1982-1992, the material is subdivided according to recipient by Center staff.

Series P: Personal Subject Files

1937 - 1995

.42 linear feet

This series brings together scattered print and near-print materials collected by McCuen before his career in the music industry or after, including newspaper articles (some about relatives), cartoons, quizzes and jokes, catalogs, investment prospects, Lambs membership materials. The materials are arranged alphabetically by subject headings assigned by Center staff.

Among other significant sets of material are a few World War II letters; compositions, short stories, scripts, ideas and proposals for radio programs developed by McCuen while he was a student at the University of North Carolina, 1939-1943 and 1946.

Series Q: ADDENDUM: Center-Generated Research Aids

1997-2001

.21 linear feet

This series of center-generated research aids are designed to provide researchers with facility in locating and understanding some aspects of the materials. It includes lists of clients for whom McCuen was consultant; a chronology of McCuen’s life; dating guides for the UPBEAT radio programs, Grammy, Hall of Fame, and SESAC awards; lists of materials in McCuen’s collection that were deaccessioned by the Center; detailed lists of the manuscript recordings on various formats; photocopies of materials that accompanied the manuscript recordings; transcription logs of the manuscript recordings; lists of materials from McCuen collection that were removed from the broader manuscripts collection and distributed among the general Center holdings; and select items photocopied from the materials themselves about details from McCuen’s life and career.
