American; a Disco music label, owned by Dave Miller and Marty Wilson. D & M Sound seems to have made just a handful of records in the States, and only one of its singles crossed the Atlantic. 'Music Week' of the 3rd of April 1976 reported that Monty Presky, managing director of Damont Records (q.v.), had launched D&M Sound in Britain as a licensed label, and Camp Galore's 'Ballin' The Jack' b/w 'Boop Boop A Hustle' (IDM-5003) duly appeared. The catalogue number of that single seems to have been a reflection of its American number, 76-5003, not an indication that there were any others in the IDM-5000 series. Promotional copies had an edited version of 'Ballin' The Jack' on the 'B' side instead of 'Boop Boop A Hustle'. There was also a Disco album released over here: 'Move It', by the Great Majority (DML-1). Manufacture was by Damont themselves, and distribution was by Selecta.
