REALM
RECORDS
Realm Records appears to have been a DIY
label. The only record on it was an EP by Merseyside musician / singer /
comedian /actor Vince Earl, featuring versions of 'You'll Never Find Another
Love Like Mine', 'God Only Knows', 'Love Hurts' and 'I Believe'. The
catalogue number of the EP, VE-006, suggests that there may be Realms out there,
but it seems odd that there would be no trace of any of them and I doubt that
they exist - perhaps the '006' had some other significance, or was just a fancy
of some sort. There's no year on the record, but 'You'll Never Find
Another Love Like Mine' was a hit for Lou Rawls in July 1976, which gives us a
'Not before' date. There's a 'CRS' in the run-off, indicates that the
County Recording Service was involved; the only examples of the mark are from
between 1977 and 1981, which provides us with a bit of extra evidence. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
