Three Dog Night's original recordings were released by ABC Dunhill Records, except for 1983's It's a Jungle , which was released by Passport. In the mid-1970s, executives at ABC Dunhill discarded their multi-track recordings and mono masters to save storage space in a cost-cutting measure. [1] As a result, all re-issues on CD were remastered using album masters.

Contents

The group scored 11 top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including three that hit number one: Joy to the World , Mama Told Me Not to Come and Black and White . Joy to the World was the top song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1971. Seven of the group's albums were certified gold by the RIAA and their first LP, Three Dog Night , was certified platinum.
