Premium Stuff Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Hi everyone Apologies if I have asked this one before, but can anyone tell me anything about the artist Jason Steel who recorded a couple of records for M-S records: Jason - Clear Eyes/I Can't Take It No More (M-S #228) Jason Steel - You Know Your Breaking My Heart/Suppose (M-S #233) Thanks in advance Cheers Richard
Chalky Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I can't even remember the record Richard. I'll have a dig round see if I can find a listen anywhere. Apparently the recording studio (on M-S228) is/was under the Pampa Lanes Bowling Alley, Van Dyke in Warren, Jim Bruzzese was the owner.

Robbk Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Not bad at all. With a ZTSC number so late, I expected a '70s sound. But, it sounds like about 1968 or 1969. I've never seen it before, despite looking through hundreds of thousands of 45s in Chicago and Detroit in the late '60s and 1970-early 1972.
Premium Stuff Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Yes, I like it Robb - glad you do too. Blue eyed I think - especially going by the sound of the other (earlier) M-S release under the name 'Jason' which had a more mainstream sound. I would even go as far as to say 'You Know Your Breaking My Heart' sounds quite 'crossover' - whatever that is Cheers Richard Edited December 30, 2011 by Premium Stuff
Docfish Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 He also recorded a very rare Modern Soul 45 with only a very few known copies. My copy copy got nicked in November, so if a copy turns up, PM me here please
Mick Holdsworth Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Always prefered the other side - "Suppose"

Guest rosies dad Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Is this the same Jason on Antler Records "Broadway Concrete"/"Woman Ease my Mind" ?
Guest carl_p Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 There are at least 5 x 45's total and there is an LP on the JSB label from 1973. He's a white singer and the selections on the LP are very contemporary. I don't see the JSB single on it so it's non LP. Judging by the label number the JSB single is from 1976. Some local musicians on the lp are: Earl Van Dyke (keyboards and rhythm arrangement). Bruce Nazarian (bass rhythm and lead guitar) Jim Bruzzese (Drums) Larry Nozero (flute on one track) other two 45's not listed above are: Easy / So I Wrote You a Song w/Pic Sleeve JSB 74-104 And I Love Her / Vanilla Ice Cream 74-103
