New 45: Milton Davis - Headed for the Disco - Soul 7
Jazzman Gerald posted an article in Soul Music News
Milton Davis - Headed for the Disco / All I Want to Do - Soul 7 Artist: Milton Davis Title: Headed for the Disco Label: Soul 7 Catalogue #: SOUL7047 Though allegedly a Texas native, Milton Davis first recorded in Los Angeles in 1967 as a member of The Four Tempos. When that act split, he trekked up the coast in stages, eventually settling in Portland. Here he secured the lead vocal role for local scene heroes, Slickaphonic. Though a full album of their own was taped, another reel of material was cut centred on Milton as a solo artist. Neither set of tracks saw release in their day, but from the latter collection we've pulled a bona fide 1977 disco-soul smasher and a mid tempo flipside with a sheen that belies its depth. *First time ever on 7" 45, dinked centre hole with picture sleeve, 500 numbered copies only. It's available exclusively on our website this week, and will be in the shops from the weekend https://jazzmanrecords.co.uk/milton-davis-headed-for-the-disco Milton Davis - Headed for the Disco 1.mp3 Milton Davis - All I Want to Do 2.mp3 -
Can anybody ID this guitarist?
Jazzman Gerald replied to Jazzman Gerald's topic in All About the SOUL
Looks like it's Buddy Guy then! Many thanks -
Pic was taken in east Texas, possibly Beaumont, early 70s or late 60s. Cheers

Where can I get nice large 45 record boxes?
Jazzman Gerald replied to Maryam Snape's topic in All About the SOUL
Nearly all the double ones are sold out - this is the last one: https://www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk/new-large-double-brown-crocodile-skin-45-record-box We'll get some more done over the summer but they won't be ready for a few months yet -
They're the rivets holding the handle on. In that position it's impossible for them to do any damage to records. It's the ones holding the latches that are the ones to look out for because they are face on to the playing surface of the record, and on my boxes they are covered with felt. Not sure what boxes you've been looking at, but here's a pic of some of my collection. If you look closely, you will see that each and every one of them has the catch in exactly the same position as the ones I've had made ie downward motion. All these were made in the 50s and 60s, ie tried and tested

JNixon - we did some bags a few years ago but the suppliers have discontinued them. Stones Throw have done one - if you have $325 + post to spare. And you thought my boxes were expensive KevinKent I can assure you the locks are not upside down and they won't accidentally flip open. Also, the rivets are not exposed because the interior is fully lined with felt. There is no bare wood - or rivets for that matter - exposed at all. I hope that clarifies matters

Quality doesn't come cheap Nick Browns are quality there's no denying it, and they cost 2 or 3 times as much as mine but they're with an all wood finish, unlike the ones we have which are have a more authentic 1960s/70s feel due to the covering. And the covering is not cheapo sticky back plastic - it cost £30 a metre and is usually used to cover furniture and kitchens etc. There's nothing else like em on the market!

Joey Irving & Just Us was a Canadian act that released a couple of 45s on various small labels but never really attained any notoriety. ‘There’s a Man’ is a cover of the original version by Leroy lane & the Upstairs Maids, an uptempo dancer that hints to the funky side of Northern Soul. The original issue of this 7” rarity was pressed in Belgium on the Baltic label, supposedly because Baltic was a label that pressed "everything nobody else wanted to press" (those are the label owner's very words!) such as Flemish chanson and elevator music. One of Baltic's contacts was a businessman from Canada who'd fly over every 6 months with a suitcase of master tapes looking for deals. One day he brought along a reel by Joey Irving & Just Us, who was unable to get a contract in the US or Canada. Baltic took a chance, pressed them up, and issued it in Belgium with a picture sleeve on their Baltic label and also their subsidiary Golden Music. As you can imagine, funky soul stompers didn’t really go down very well with the chanson and elevator crowd, and the record bombed. Very few copies are known to this day, with original copies reaching several hundred £££. -

I asked the same question of the seller a few years back, he replied and told me in no uncertain terms that I was a mug for not realising it was a recent pressing. It was quite sarcastic/arrogant in tone. He probably has the original stampers - whether made by himself or not - and he just presses them up as he pleases.
