A DIY label. RCR did better than most self-financed labels by running to three releases. Two were singles, one was an album, and all were by Manchester outfit the Reg Coates Experience. There was no date on the labels of the singles, but 'C'est La Vie' b/w 'Watching You, Watching Me' (RC-2) is listed on the 45cat site as being from 1979, which suggests that RC-1, 'Angelino' b/w 'Wounded' came out either in that same year or in 1978. The logo turned 90% left and migrated to 9 o'clock for the second single; an example can be found on the 45cat site. The album, 'Live At Blighty's, Volume 1' came out in 1978; there doesn't appear to have been a 'Volume 2'. Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing RCR to my attention.
