RECORDS
Rim - Rediffusion International Music - was a subsidiary of Rediffusion, a prominent dealer in budget-priced records. Most of the company's products were LPs, but it made the occasional venture into the singles market. It had four different labels, at different times, for its singles output: Rediffusion, Gold Star, Rim, and Fusion. Rim had two separate incarnations, one in the '60s and one in the late '70s. The '60s version had a gold-and-white-halved label design, and a plan gold label at least nineteen singles were issued, with numbers in a RIM-0 series.from 1967-69. Releases on the '70s version were numbered in the RIM-000s and had a completely different label design. There seem to have been only three of them: the first was the one shown above, 'Mountain King', by the Little Trolls (RIM-001), which was a Disco version of the well-known melody by Grieg; the second was Virginia McKenna's, 'The Love That I Have' (RIM-002) - a re-recording (?) of a song that she recorded for Sovereign in 1974 (SOV-125). Distribution was by Pinnacle. In September 1979 Rediffusion introduced the Fusion label, and Rim appears to have been shelved. Thanks to Robert Lyons for the info.
