REVOLUTION SOUL

 

Logically enough, Revolution Soul was the Soul arm of Dave Hadfield's and John Harper's Revolution Records.  It issued singles during 1969-70 using a REVS-500 catalogue series, which reached REVS-505 - I haven't been able to trace 503 or 504, and it is possible that they were not issued.  Initially distribution was by Immediate records, but 'Record Retailer' of the 11th of July 1970 says that a three-year distribution deal had been signed with RCA.  It also says that REVS-504 was due to come out in a month's time, but there's no sign of that record online.  Revolution also had labels dedicated to Pop, Reggae / Rocksteady and Classical (q.v. all); they shared the same basic label design but came in discrete colours.  Thanks to Ian Pakes of the 45cat site for the use of his scan here.
