The 'Atlantic Records' shirt Tom wears.
In the segments with Tom playing around with Layla on the mixing board, where can I get that Atlantic Records shirt he was wearing? I want one! I love Atlantic!!!!!!!!
shareSonicboom87,
I am the daughter of Tom Dowd. Mark Moormann the film maker of TD&LOM just sent me a link to your question.
Unfortunately, the shirt is a one of a kind.
My mother and I had it custom made specially, for him as a present.
Cheers,
Dana Dowd

Probably the best chance i'll have to say this. I just wanted to say how much i appreciated what your dad did. When is was a child, i'm only 23, i did not know what "popular music" was. We always listened to the Drifters and other great Atlantic artists. My dad was also a huge Allman Bros. fan, and that is what i grew up on. To know that one man was responsible of using there talents with his is amazing. I watched the documentary many times and i am amazed every time i see it. I am glad to see that Tom is getting some respect and admiration that he has always deserved.

That shirt was one-of-a-kind, just like your father was. Thanks for sharing the details, and kudos to Mr. Dowd for his tremendous ear for great sounds and ability to connect the musician to the fan.
shareHi Dana and or Mark,
The music Tom engineered is a soundtrack to some of the most memorable years of my life and had he made different decisions in his craft, I don't have any doubt that my life would be drastically different. Since I can not thank the man himself, I send my appreciation to the next best place. You both are very fortunate to have known one of the greatest contributors to 20th century music this world will ever know.
Dana, for you i'm sure it is tough to imagine Tom as anything other than Daddy, but know your father will be the Beethoven/Bach/Tchaikovsky (of the modern engineers) talked about for hundreds of years after their time.
Mark thanks for caring enough to bring this amazing movie to life. I am very interested in buying a copy but it appears most places are out of stock and not sure if they are going to print more.
As of friday 5/27/2016 amazon is out of stock, ebay is empty, and I can't find any online.
May either of you recommend a place where I can purchase a copy of this doc? I am a musician and engineer and anxiously awaiting this film.
Once again thank you both.
Tom I would have loved to have been able to shake your hand and say, Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jeff Dewine
