The Classical label of Dave Hadfield's and John Harper's 'Revolution' Records. Revolution had separate labels for Rocksteady / Reggae, Soul and Pop (q.v. all); 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 above. 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.
