can anyone please
give a as near enough full account on when
Atco records
bought out
Revilor records please.

as I heard it
and please I am only going on old info here
that

Atco apparantly didnt take up any acts contracts
or supposedly
didnt get the oppurtunity to.

With big names as
The Parliaments
and
Darrell Banks
appearing on the Atco logo
this was only due to the fact that what I mention above contract wise.

I was told that the 2 names above
never actually recorded directly for the label.

Apparantly the parliaments
had a year to see out before there actual revilot contracts expired so they (asI was told)
recorded under the name of
Funkadelic.

And they were used as background artists etc to Atco until there year arrived to end there ties etc.

which they then went onto the
Westbound record label.

any info is appreciated as always
and please remember this was as I was told many years ago and also it never ceases to amaze me how guys from our end of the street knew all that was going on in detroit.
so any errors I apologise.

regards
merseyside mel from detroit.......
or the mate of the merseydetroit scene.....

I don't know if this helps, but the Parliaments single on ATCO had previously (although shortly which is why this version of the single is hard to find) released on Revilot.

This is Billboard's only ad for that one...

the only connection is that the master was leased to Atlantic/Atco from Revilot Record, the deal did not include previous masters.
