Rare
Earth Record was established in USA by Motown Records in 1969, after the
signing of Rare Earth (after whom the label was named). The label was a
subsidiary focusing on rock music by white artists. Notable acts included
Rare Earth, R. Dean Taylor, The Pretty Things, and Stoney & Meatloaf,
Toe Fat. The label folded in 1976, and its artists were moved to the Prodigal
subsidiary. None
of the UK-issues hit the chart.
