Anyone point me in the right direction for a listing on JMC Records out of Detroit - or post up any info, label scans, artist, song details etc. please?

Early to mid '70s label I believe.

Cheers

Richard

If you mean the 1970's-80s label, here is a discography I found:

JMC 140 Darnell Jackson & Band Love, Peace and Happiness/I 1973?

JMC 141 Four Sonics, The If It Wasn't For My Baby (7") 1973?

JMC 111 Smoke Screen (3) I'm So Inspired / Give It Up mid 1970's ?

JMC 113 Mack & Nina Reunited/I Mid 1970's ?

JMC 113 Mack Brown Mystery Mistress (7") 1987 (re-issue?)

JMC 194 Smoke Screen (3) Give It Up (12") 1984 (re-issue?)

JMC 194-A Smoke Screen Give It Up (12", Max) 1984 (re-issue?)

Surely it was 70s though - or maybe it went on for a long time (started '70s and ended '80s)?

Wouldn't the Four Sonics have been early/mid-70s?

Also I have a record on the label with a Detroit address and mid-70s date I think. I can check it.

Hi Robb

Yes, I see those Smoke Screen records are '80s.

Must have been some more releases for it to last so long.

The Four Sonics' was early '70s, as I bought mine then. I wasn't buying any records in the '80s:

That isn't always the case, as sometimes labels shut down for some years and then re-activate years later. Joe Von Battle did that with his JVB Records, King Records did that with their Queen Records label, Ernest Kelly did that with his Geneva Records.

Oooh yummy Detroit 70s / 80's.

Please add these:

JMC 113 Mack & Nina Reunited/ I. ( I have two records No 113 the other one as above on green JMC)

JMC 140 Darnell jackson and Band Love peace and happiness / I.

Think I might have a couple more in the lock up but the clocks have gone back and it's too dark to find them now....

There is a current JMC Records, which is a Reggae label. I'm sure there's no connection to the Detroit '70s/'80s label.

Any info on the Darnell Jackson please? Sounds like it might be decent.

From memory Richard I don't think it is, but I'll check it out tonight if no one else replies.
