Limited pressing on yellow vinyl for Record Store Day

After being a member of Los Angeles power pop/glam sensations The Quick, Danny Wilde met Phil Solem, and Great Buildings were 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 on Untitled, brought them to prominence 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 also 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, therefore 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

On the Billboard Hot 100, when it was later released commercially as a double A-side, it reached number 17

In Canada, the song peaked at number one for five consecutive weeks and was the most successful single of 1995

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.
