Kevin Coleman (Cap Daviz) – Guitar & Vocals
Timmy Houpe (The Muscle) - Drums
John Stevenson (Johnny Daviz) - Bass
Jay White (Jay Daviz) – Rhythm Guitar & Vocals

Rico Fillmore (Rico Daviz) - Percussion

Greyship was a mid-1970s Westerville rock band who hired a temporary vocalist named Davis. After billing themselves as Greyship & Davis, it simply made more sense to call themselves Greyship Davis. After the singer and band parted ways, they kept the name, only adjusting Davis to read Daviz. As the band matured, they scrapped their format of Zeppelin and Sabbath covers for a more creative approach. Influenced by groups like Mother's Finest, Funkadelic, and Earth, Wind, & Fire, they moved into a more funk-rock mode by 1977. Johnny Stevenson recruited the members of a local vocal group who could also play instruments to fill out the experiment.

Greyship Daviz never became known as recording artists, but as live performers they tore up the entire nation. Their tours were the stuff of myth and legend. They had a self-contained operation that included special effects on stage, full make-up, outrageous costumes (their tailor traveled with them), top-line lighting, high-test sound, and a full-size bus converted literally into a gray spacecraft. They only went by the stage monikers that linked them as an outlandish family unit. Their only studio recordings failed to make an impact for two reasons. They were released after their prime, and they could never live up to the phenomenon of the live act, but for underground disco it is at the highest level.

Tomas Palermo (KUSF | SF Weekly | XLR8R |Big Up): I'm feeling the James Curd mix -- I like the drum work and use of original song elements. But Nick Chacona's Afrobeat-inflected mix is fantastic. Just an amazing groove. Would definitely feature and play that mix a lot.

Huwston - 3D World Magazine, 2SER Radio Sydney Australia: Holy shit - that is a quite a break! This is one of the best GD tracks you've reissued! Equal parts James Brown, D Train and Earth Wind & Fire! Will play the James Curd remix and the My Cousin Roy One is a bloody great throbbin dub! Hectic! 10/10

Greg Fenton.: My Cousin Roy version best
Tom Wieland - 7samurai : good to see patst due back on da block; Greyship is the perfct roller disco joint for the summer;luvin the original & the past due disco dub rework!!
Ennio Styles (Australia): I can see how the remixes might be more functional on certain floors, but for pure musical goodness the original wins hands down. Dope.

Q-Burns Abstract: gging everything in this package to some degree. Original is top notch, as expected. Nick's is probably may favorite of the remixes even though it certainly eschews the original feel, but its wild dubbiness is pretty damn cool. Other mixes good, too, and I'm sure everything here will get some sort of club and radio support from yours truly.
Henri Kohn - Clubstar: big big big! the waiting for the new still music was worth it!
