RPM Records

RPM Records Record label est.1991 specialist in vintage reissues and compilations.

Since 1991, RPM has lived by the maxim “by collectors for collectors” with benchmark releases that define what reissues should be. The many essentials include first-ever issues like Joe Meek’s space fantasy I Hear A New World, Mark Witrz’s complete A Teenage Opera and American band The Aerovons’ late-‘60s masterpiece Resurrection. The Velvet Tinmine and Glitterbest compilations redefined the ‘70s,

celebrating the Junkshop Glam phenomenon. The Dream Babes series pinned down Britain’s ‘60s girl scene – it wasn’t just Cilla, Dusty and Sandie. Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl, Gorillaz) said “most of the music I’m listening to is on RPM: Stavely Makepeace, Mike Sarne, Joe Meek, The Shangri-Las, Mark Wirtz, and Crushed Butler.”
