REAL (1)
The first Real label of the
1970s appears to have been an offshoot of Country Music company Westwood Records (q.v.),
of Montgomery; it seems to have had Folk leanings, though it
did feature some Country. It issued more than a dozen records during 1975-c.76, most of
which - including the one shown above - were albums. It
did however put out at least one single, 'Five Hundred Miles' b/w 'A Place In
My Heart' by Country singer Jon Derek (RR-2010; 4/76). The single shared
the albums' RR-2000 numbering, as did an EP by A.G. & Kate, 'On The Narrow Gauge Train
Track' (RR-2014; 1976), but the EP came out on a variant of the Westwood label.
