RPM Records was an American record label launched in the early 1950s in Los Angeles. It was a subsidiary of Modern Records and part of the Bihari Brothers record empire.
B.B. King was one of the artists on its roster.
The catalogues and master tapes were sold to Ace Records (UK) in the 1990s.
This is not the same RPM used by Tony Bennett, nor is it related to labels in the UK and South Africa.
Famous quotes containing the word records:
“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
