DESCO The DESCO story & discog by Rich Jammin' From vacuum store on 14th st. to a label of champions. DESCO. We rewind to Paris in the late '80s, where Phillipe Lehman and a friend decided to compile some of their old, obscure funk 45's for an LP to promote an upcoming party. The response was overwhelming, and the guys figured they might be on to something. They realized there was a void when it came to acquiring some bass-slappin' goodness, so the only logical choice would be to start a record label -- and they did. 7" 45rpm releases: Lee Fields - Let a man do what he wanna do bw/ Steam Train ( pp-005 ) (DS-1001) LABEL SCAN.

Stones Throw Records Home: CRAMMED DISCS Stax Records (Est. 1959) – Since its inception, Stax Records has been synonymous with Southern soul music, the combination of rhythm & blues and gospel that connects to the innermost emotions of its listeners. The label served as the driving force of unity during the civil rights era from its hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, uniting people through music in a time of great social unrest. Among the many artists who scored hits on Stax and its Volt subsidiary during the sixties were Rufus and Carla Thomas, Booker T. & the MGs (an interracial instrumental quartet that also served as the Company’s rhythm section), Sam and Dave, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, and the Dramatics. Today, the Stax brand continues to not only issue impressive soul releases—most recently in the form of Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite’s Get Up!
