REX
RECORDS


The Rex label dates back to the 78rpm years.  It was started up by the Crystalate Gramophone Company in 1933, and was taken over by Decca, along with the rest of Crystalate, in 1937.  In 1948 Decca put the label into hibernation; it - or at least its name - was reawakened in 1965, from which point it served as a vehicle for Irish music.  Rex tasted success in 1970 when Dana's, 'All Kinds Of Everything' (R-11054) topped the Singles Chart; her follow-up, 'Who Put The Lights Out' (R-11062) also charted; but that was as good as it got.  The label seems to have expired in the late '70s, possibly at the time when Decca was bought by Polygram.  There were two more 'Rex' labels in the '80s, Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info.
