Al Coury

Al Coury

Al Coury was a 1970s vice-president of American record label Capitol Records. Beginning his career in movie theaters, he joined Capitol's sales staff in his early twenties, moved later to promotion, and stayed with the label for seventeen years.

Coury was important to the release of John Lennon's 1975 album "Rock 'n' Roll", bartering with producer Phil Spector to retrieve the master tapes from their abandoned 1973 recording sessions.

Coury's last signing to Capitol Records was the group Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart, made up of former Monkees Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones, and songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, who'd written several Monkees hits. Coury left Capitol, to become the president of RSO Records.
