Jay - Tee Records - Johnny Thompson - doesn't take a genius to work the intials out...

Peritone - Change of letters but still evident that it's Oscar Perry

Halo Records - Religious overtones , Gospel label

Am I one the right trck or have I misread the question Mike ?

Shrine records were called Shrine by Eddie Singleton as a tribute to President Kennedy and the emblem is the Eternal Flame on Kennedy’s shrine.

Shrine’s publishing company was Ramitary and was formed by Eddie and his wife Raynoma; Eddie was born Eddie Singletary

Raynoma or ‘Miss Ray’ learnt her record producing skills at Motown being Berry Gordy’s second wife.

Berry Gordy wanted to have a record label called Tammy named after a favourite film (star) of his, but as the name was copyrighted he plumped for Tamla instead

Berry & Raynoma Gordy

Very common Shrine release

Romulus:

i remember chatting to Trevski from York and he was wondering if there was a Remus label as well. not sure if anyone has any knowledge on this?

For those of you who didnt attend history lessons at school , Romulus & Remus were twins who were brought up by a wolf and later built the city of Rome. Well legend has it anyway

I have added an educational link below regarding the said twins

Shane

Romulus and Remus labels both from Norfolk , Virginia, so your guess is good as mine, The Heart Attacks are apparently a US Garage band ?

Hi Baz, El Camino records were out of San Francisco, their related label was Goldenway (Ozz and his Sperlings) so i think your bang on the money mate.

ps see you Boxing Day.

Toliver family owned the Revilot label (Toliver backwards).

El Camino ..Was named after the famous trail through the mountains

The design has the Mountains on the label..after the so named

"El Camino Real" which is a mountain trail from USA/Mexico border

The Royal Highway of the Interior Lands follows the Rio Grande River from the United States/Mexico border to Santa Fe.

useless but interesting
