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... Wonder B |

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