DynoVoice Album DiscographyDynoVoice started life as Dyno-Vox, but was changed about the time the fourth single (by Eddie Rambeau) was issued. Rambeau (Edward Flurie) managed to get to #35 nationally with "Concrete and Clay," a cover of a British hit by the Unit 4+2. A few months later, DynoVoice also registered hits with the Toys, a trio from Jamaica, New York (Barbara Harris, Barbara Parritt, and June Monteiro), who made #2 with "A Lover's Concerto" and followed with a top-20 appearance with "Attack." The latter song was in rechanneled stereo on the first pressing of the groups only album [DynoVoice 9002-S], but rare second pressings have the song in true stereo. The two pressings look identical, but the first pressing's matrix number, stamped in the trailoff groove area, ends in "-1A," while the second pressing has a higher number.
Another chart record on DynoVoice was "(When She Wants Good Lovin') She Comes to Me" by the
Chicago Loop. The group, based in Chicago, made #37 nationally with the record, but charted higher in
their home town. Probably recorded in stereo, the record did not appear on any albums, so has been
issued in mono only. In late 1966, "the man himself," Bob Crewe, hit with an instrumental called "Music
to Watch Girls By," which reached #15 nationally and spawned an album of the same name. DynoVoice
was distributed by Bell Records until late 1967.
Late in 1967, Crewe consolidated the DynoVoice and its companion label, NewVoice, into a new, Dot-distributed DynoVoice, complete with a new logo and completely different look. Both Mitch Ryder and Bob Crewe issued albums on the new DynoVoice, as did the groups Glitterhouse, Good Earth Trio, and Bermuda Jam, but by 1969, Crewe abandoned the DynoVoice name in favor of his own, and started the "Crewe Group of Companies", or CGC, of which the Crewe Label was a part.
The 9000 series DynoVoice label is blue with silver print, with "dynoVoice" in silver above the center
hole.
The Dot-distributed DynoVoice 1900/31900 series label is black with silver print, with the title at the
bottom of
the label. In the middle of the label is the white logo, which is a silhouette of a face turned to the right,
with stars trailing to the left. Under the label is "DYNOVOICE" in block letters in yellow.
