REBEL
RECORDS
Independent label: Rebel Records was run by Dave Howman
and Gavin Dare. Catalogue numbers suggest that Rebel issued at least five
singles, using a REBEL-0 numerical series, but I haven't been able to pin down
REBEL-4. Marketing was by Psycho Records, distribution of the first
release was by Spartan, but by the time that 'My Future's Here At Last' by
Rascal (REBEL-5; 2/79) came out, One Stop was handling the label's
distribution. There were also at least a couple of albums, from Jamie
Stone and from Scene Stealer. The company was well enough organized for
some of its records - including those albums - to be released in Germany,
through Crystal; Scene Stealer were reportedly more popular abroad than in the
U.K. The Jamie Stone LP, 'Let It Shine', came out on Harvest (SHSP-4080)
in the U.K., and on EMI (IEMC-6009) in his native Ireland, where he had enjoyed
a No.1 single, 'I Believe In Love' (IEMI-5052) in 1976. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
