Anyone know much about this outfit based on the western outskirts of Detroit.
I'm told when the studio was opened [[late 60's) they hired an experienced studio engineer from Cleveland. That would make sense as both Joey Mann and Tom Baker [[who had releases on the label) were from Cleveland.
The releases on the actual Adell label were very sporadic and can't have kept the studio busy enough to stay in business. So other outside acts had to use the studio, anyone know which ones ??
A guy by the name of Joe Petito produced a couple of acts who had stuff out on the label BUT their biggest track was by Steptone with the Soulful Black Knights -- Your Love is Like the Rising Sun" [[ADE 2001 in 74) ... this eventually escaped on Fast Track as by the Steptones.
This group must have connections to the Steptones who cut for Diamond Jim in 1969.
They titled themselves Adell International, so they must have had big plans [[or were a major force in another line of business).
Apart from the above, I know nothing about the studio, label, ownership.
