unusual facts about RPM Records



Brett Smiley

In 1974, Smiley—who, at the time, was managed and produced by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham—recorded an album, Breathlessly Brett. The album—which includes the songs "Va Va Va Voom" and "Space Ace"—remained unreleased until 2004, when RPM Records included it as part of its Lipsmackin' 70s collection.

Iron Virgin

Iron Virgin's music has been re-released on compilation CDs such as the 2003 album Velvet Tinmine, part of the 'Junkshop' collection of discs released by RPM Records that focused on glam bands from the early 1970s whose output never, or barely, charted.
