    Is We Produced pronounced Volt? Is Gospel Truth pronounced Truth? Does Hi have a subsidiary? Who else was recording in Memphis in both the 60s and 70s? Gold Wax, Bell... Duke Houston, Fame Muscel Shoals, Sunshine/Malaco Jackson, SSS.....

    Enterprise Enterprize and Stax?

    Volt Vault Stax?

    Volt Vault Stax?

    Yeah, this one has me in knots.

    I'm pretty sure I've thought of every Stax subsidiary, unless there's
    a super-obscure one that sounds like another.

    Hi has Cream, right? But not Creem too?

    ugh. my head hurts.

    I was trying to pronounce
    "we produce" to make it sound like "enterprise"

  • dude!

    stax records -> safice, weis, chalise, jotis??????????????????/

    ugh. this shit is really giving me fits.

    ok we can solve this. stax started out as satellite. there was volt, obviously. gospel truth, hip and respect as previously mentioned. there was also Partee, which richard pryor's record was on. then they got bought by Fantasy, which isn't a subsidiary, technically.

    shit.

    maybe it's not stax.

    Partee Party?



  • Partee Party?

    i thought that at first, but to my knowledge (limited knowledge) of Stax, there was no Party subsidiary.

  • This trivia question is driving me nuts. Here's a list of Stax subsidiaries, none of which are pronounced like each other as far as I can see: Volt, Satellite, Jaxon, Enterprise, Hip, Safice, Chalice, Jotis, Warren, Ko-Ko, Arch, Ardent, Weis, Truth, We Produce, Front Page, The Gospel Truth, Dig, Partee, Fountain, Mikim, Future Stars.

    Don't tell me the answer is Hip/H.I.P. cause that would be cheesy.

    So I don't think it's Stax-related. I was looking at the Goldwax angle and I think they had a subsidiary called XL which seemed like a tantalizing clue that lead me nowhere. So yeah, I give up. Can't wait to find out what it is.

    Hi MOC Mach

    The most popular releases on each were..

    Murray Kellum "Long Tall Texan" on MOC

    Leviathan "S/T" LP on Mach

    I've been told that MOC were the initials of the label owners wife but I'm not positive that is true.

    With the knowledge base here it HAS to be hard.

    Well....where I come from the word Mach is pronounced Mock
    And the only way I can think of to pronounce the letters MOC is Mock

    Am I the only one who sees it this way???

  • Am I the only one who sees it this way???

    Possibly, i only ever hear it pronounced as "Mack"...

    I can't even try to give away a damn record without getting into a disagreement.....amazing.

    I just asked 4 co-workers how to pronounce this and all 4 said "Mock 5"


  • Mach is pronounced "mock".

    Mach is pronounced "mock".

    Anyone who "only ever hears it pronounced MACK" rolls with illiterates. No offense.

  • Mach is pronounced "mock".

    Come on faux he is just rolling hard for .

  • Mach is pronounced "mock".

    Anyone who "only ever hears it pronounced MACK" rolls with illiterates. No offense.

    Either that or rolls with British people...
    Mach = Mack
    Tune = Choon
    faux rillz = ponce
    etc...

    Just playing, just saying that not everyone on here pronounces it the same, that's all...

    Right, then; the correct pronunciation is "mock".

    Bloody 'ell.

    Considering I have to make up shit that is ungoogleable I thought it was a pretty damn good question!

    Why, you effete, limp-wristed, white glove-wearing...

    But seriously, don't people with British accents pronounce "MACK" as "MACH," rather than vice-versa?

  • Considering I have to make up shit that is ungoogleable I thought it was a pretty damn good question!

    It was, don't mistake my comments as hattitude, they are instead me being a bitch because i didn't get the answer...

    I'm confused, if people in England see the words Mach 4 they'll pronounce it Mack...
