After being a member of Los Angeles power pop/glam sensations The Quick, Danny Wilde met Phil Solem, and the band Great Buildings was born, recording an album for Columbia in 1981.

Wilde and Solem continued writing together and rebranded themselves as The Rembrandts. Their eponymous 1990 debut featured the Top 15 hit “That’s Just The Way It Is, Baby,” and their work brought them to prominence and the opportunity to co-write and record the theme for a new NBC sitcom called Friends. The track topped the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart for eight weeks and hit #1 on the Billboard
Adult Contemporary and Top 40/Mainstream charts. At the peak of its popularity, the song was not available as a commercial single, becoming the first song to top the Hot 100 Airplay chart without appearing on the Hot 100, but it appeared initially as a bonus track on what would be their third album, L.P.

But L.P. is more than “I’ll Be There For You.” It’s another stellar album in The Rembrandts’ catalog, hitting #23 on the Billboard Top 200. Now, L.P. returns for its 30th anniversary, for the first time on vinyl, as a double-LP, pressed on Opaque Yellow vinyl.
