MYRRH
RECORDS
Independent American label: Myrrh Records was established by
Billy Ray Hearn in 1972, as a division of the Christian record company
Word. It specialised in Contemporary Christian music until its demise
in 2000. As far as Britain is concerned, it seems to have been
comparatively low-key compared to its US incarnation. It was
predominantly an album company; the only British 7" release on Myrrh in the
1970s, was Garth Hewitt's, 'That's Why We're Here' (WOO-1; 3/79). The
album label was quite pretty; the single one is distinctly dull - perhaps the
Devil has all the best labels, as well as the best
tunes. Distribution was by EMI, marketing by Word. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
