John Davis & The Monster Orch.- Monster?

[spincycle]

I have heard rumors of this song existing, but I still have not seen it around. Can anyone clear this up for me?

[Spellbound]

There are TONS of unreleased songs so it would not surprise me at all. Not everything (song info) is available via goofle searches. The internet did not really begin to take off until 1995.

[TheLordOfFlatbush]

Ain't That Enough For You, Up Jumped The Devil, I Can't Stop and Love Magic were the hits......

I'm sure there were unreleased tracks out from this group out there! Let me know because I'm interested in hearing them.

I've got every LP from the 70's, plus other LPs John Davis did with artists like Touch of Class, Arthur Prysock, and 12"s like Lucy Hawkins and Craig Snyder's tracks, but nothing was called 'Monster'.

This one was released .............however got liitle notice.... Arthur Fiedler's Boston Pops disco album : .....

SATURDAY NIGHT FIEDLER

is a John Davis arranged and produced album ! :o :)

I find it pretty good ... side "A" is music from the soundtrack ( inc. MANHATTAN SKYLINE !?) side "B" is some reworked Bach ....
....just wish it didn't sound so hollow and somewhat marching band like ..... ( the entire orchestra recorded live with one microphone ???)

Arthur Prysock - When Love Is New
Nice touch!!!!!!!

And 'I Wantcha Baby', both Gamble & Huff written songs that Billy Paul recorded, but that John Davis and Prysock totally breathed new life into. I always thought the arrangement on When Love Is New was probably inspired by You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine, with the drum sticks tapping on the snare drum sides during the verses, which culminate into an upbeat chorus section.

John Davis also did excellent work with Carol Douglas, Grace Jones & Ruth Waters too in the late 70s. A real talent; is he still alive?

Totally. He also did 'Shangri La' by La Pregunta, Rio De Janeiro LP by Gary Criss, I think he even produced two more LPs for Arthur Prysock. and the underrated 'Steppin Out' by Ray Dahrouge.

I think he's still alive. At least, I haven't heard of him passing away.

SATURDAY NIGHT FIEDLER, yes I have that album, too. I never listen to it, though. But now that I know that its a John Davis aLbum, Ill have to give it a spin. John DAvis and the Monster Orchestra is one of my favorite groups. I have one of his albums, its the blue one with 'Aint that enough for you' and 'Disco fever' etc. I love the cover art, with the pictures of people and monsters playing in the orchestra! I also have the single 12" of 'Aint that enough for you' and 'take a bite of the apple'. What other albums were released by John Davis and the Monster orchestra? I have a CD called 'Nervous Does Disco' and it has a couple other songs by the orchestra, including "night and day'. But I have no idea what the original album was called that those songs came out on.

Hey I've been wondering about a 12" I have on AMAZON RECORDS 1978. Aranged & conducted by JOHN DAVIS. It is a brazilian pressing." The Angels" the song is called "TILL". It is produced by BILLY TERREL. I enjoy this record very much, I too love anything that JOHN DAVIS has touched. Any interesting info about the group out there?? Would somebody kick me in the butt & get me to scan the many many records I have for the vault?? :) DISCO LIVES IN L.A!!
