Shrine Records was an American soul and R&B record label based in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1964 by its primary songwriter Eddie Singleton and his wife, Raynoma Gordy Singleton (who had also founded Motown Records with her then-husband, Berry Gordy). Its headquarters was a townhouse located at 3 Thomas Circle NW.
From 1964 to 1967, Shrine released a total of twenty vinyl 45 singles comprising forty different tracks. However, none of the Shrine singles were significant hits, and the label ceased operations in 1967. Shrine's stock of unsold records was destroyed in a warehouse fire in 1968.
As a result, very few Shrine records remain today and are highly sought-after by collectors and DJs, particularly in the UK's Northern Soul club scene. This new collection selects and lovingly restores the musical cream of the label's catalog, so these tracks can be appreciated for their dynamite tunes, arrangements, and performances as much as their status as rare finds.
