Wilxy Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Could anyone enlighten me as to the recording studio whereabouts of the Stax/Volt 45's, in particular the Don Davis (Groovesville) productions? Whilst I appreciate he bought United Sound System studios in 1973, I'm assuming that the likes of Roz Ryan, and United Image for example were in fact produced in Detroit, however whilst I believe the Dramatics "Your love was strange"was also probably a Detroit production, where does his involvement with both latterly (later Dramatics output) and Johnnie Taylor lie (production wise)? If anyone can either verify or elaborate, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.. Thanks in advance..... wilxy 1
Robbk Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) The Darrell Banks, J.J. Barnes, Roz Ryan all sound like they were recorded at United Sound, in Detroit (but, in 1967-69), The strings on William Bell, Johnny Taylor and other Stax/Volt artists sound like Detroit players (Detroit Symphony Orchestra players used by Motown/Golden World/Solid Hitbound). I'm sure all those Stax singers' vocals were recorded in Memphis. Maybe Don Davis recorded some Detroit artists' vocals in Memphis after 1969 (but, I don't follow '70s music). The Dynamics recorded in Tennessee before the end of the '60s (but that wasn't Don Davis). The Dramatics recorded in Memphis (maybe starting in 1969?-or was that 1970 or 1971?)
