In 1977, the Portland Trailblazers were at the peak of their game. Anticipating the team’s meteoric rise toward an NBA championship, songwriter Ron Stassens assembled his own dream team. Featuring members of Pleasure, Transport, and Slickaphonic, Stassens penned a theme song to amplify the Blazers' ascent and wound up with an album’s worth of soulful, disco-funk material.
Centering on Slickaphonic frontman, Milton Davis, the band was hopeful. But like the vast majority of Portland's musical output, the reels received a dose of regional airplay before being shelved. Davis left town. Stassens and the backing band moved on. Years later, we now have this artifact, featuring a who's who in Portland's musician community.
"Let Me In" signifies Davis' yearning to be seen by his peers at a time when local musicians’ aspirations for fame and fortune were all too unlikely in Portland’s gatekept club scene - a quaint industry both culturally and geographically isolated from national access. Black musicians redlined in the city’s Albina district were disproportionately affected. Buried within a love song, Davis’ crooning on “All I Wanna Do” spells it out:
‘Some people want to drive a cadillac car / Some people want to be a Hollywood star / Oh no, not me / My poor heart just can’t break free / All I wanna do is think about you.’
Mystery surrounds Davis' background and why this tremendous suite of recordings has remained unreleased. In its time, the “Blazermania” single was successful enough that the band performed it on repeat during the team’s championship celebration (images of this can be seen on ESPN’s recent “30 For 30” featuring Bill Walton, as well as on the album’s back side jacket).
What we do know is that Davis came of age in the Houston area where in high school he joined The Four Tempos - a soul group that would make their way to Los Angeles, cutting a few 45s for Rampart Records. When the group disbanded, he steadily worked his way up the West Coast Chitlin Circuit before landing in Portland. There he would fall in step with Albina's finest, fronting Slickaphonic for a short time. It is believed he would later front Doc Severinsen’s big band on European tours throughout the 1980s and produce R&B singles for major label artists throughout the 1990s. Davis passed in late 2020, having remained largely disconnected from Albina’s musician community since the time of this recording.
As with all releases in our catalog, listeners may now appreciate a piece of Albina’s legacy otherwise buried. Its impact has been obscured in such a way that Stassens, engineer Bob Stoutenburg, and the participating musicians on these takes can’t fully recall the cast of players on the sessions that make up the record. Years of interviews and sleuthing the highest quality tapes have produced the record we have here - a recording that all these years later demands, “Let me in.”

ITS SO FLUFFY
Color: White, Size: X-Large
This jacket is magical. For the price it’s pretty amazing. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star is the zipper is a little on the cheap feel side. Kinda loose feeling while zipping up. I’ve had no issues with it though. That’s being nitpicky. If you don’t have a weird feel for zippers it’s a 5 star review. Very lightweight and very comfortable and warm. I love the sleeve that goes past the cuff so if you are wearing gloves it helps shield them as well to stay warm. Great design and the fit is your regular fit. If you wear a large, get the large. If you want a little room underneath go one size higher. I did that because I like my winter jackets with a little bit of room. Great jacket would highly recommend

A Classy coat
Size: Medium, Color: Black
For the price I paid, this is a great find. The quality of the fabric was good, and the waist was good. We tried washing it for the safer side, and the color didn't turn out well, but it looks great. If you prefer using the tie, it looks very good, and the bow tie was easy to adjust. I ordered another suit, but for the price I paid, this is really good.
With the fitting, the adjustments could be made, and the extra cloth was provided accordingly, which is a good thing. Coming to the waistcoat, I would say it fits properly if you are going with the actual size, as sometimes it varies. Also, refer to the size guide. With the washability, I used hand washing and just dipped it in water to see the color. It was really good and the color sustained well. The tie was not provided, but you do get the bow tie, and it was neatly packed. With pants, the size may vary, and if you have any other pants that could match this color, you can use them. The package was very neat and easy to open. No complaints on the package, as sometimes it will be more to open it. This is for our very special occasion and so glad that it was great.
