REVOLUTION CLASSICAL
RECORDS
Revolution Classical Records was The
Classical label of Dave Hadfield's and John Harper's 'Revolution' Records.
Revolution had separate labels for Rocksteady / Reggae, Soul and Pop; its
Classical label was a relative latecomer but it issued a respectable number of
records - at least twenty of them, in fact, during 1970-71. The vast
majority were albums, but there was an exception in the EP shown. Called
'The Last Recordings' it featured five historic songs from Oda Slobodskaya; the
legend 'Songs identified after printing LP sleeves' suggests that it was
packaged along with her album 'Seventeen Polish Songs', as does the similarity
of the catalogue numbers - the album was RCF-011, the EP 33EP-11.
Distribution at this point was by RCA; 'Record Retailer' of the 11th of July
1970 says that the company had previously been with Immediate but had signed a
three-year deal with RCA. Thanks to Dr. Doom of the 45cat site for
alerting me to the EP's existence and for allowing me to use his scan here.
