Magic City Records Subsidiaries

[Nick Soule]

Looking for info on any additional Magic City Records subsidiaries.

 

So far I have:

 

Mello 001 - Jay Davis - Look At What I Found b/w What Words Do I Use

 

Sock-It 001/002 - Steve Smith & The Soul Champions - Ugly Faced Woman b/w part 2

 

Sock-It 003/004 - The Harmonics - Scum-A-Doom Doom (In The Ghetto) b/w Be Your Man

(Ohio group, also released on Seventy Seven, and the funk side received another release on Gold Plate)

 

Is there anything else?

Isn't there some connection between Magic City and the Burt label?

There's a Soul Toranodoes record on Burt that also came out on Magic City. I think that Burt label is from Nashville.

It appears that Ernest Burt owned both Magic City and Burt Records.  He bought Correc-Tone's studio at 8912 Grand River in 1966 from Wilbur Golden.  He changed the name to Magic City Studios, and started Magic City Records.  I believe that I read that he started Burt Records in Nashville (near the beginning of The 70s?).
