Ripete Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ripete Records is a small, independently distributed record label specializing in the reissue of Carolina Beach Music compilations for Shag dance enthusiasts, mainly in the Southeastern US, as well as providing an outlet for newer recordings by legendary R&B artists, such as the Drifters, Clovers, and Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs. In addition to local Beach Music classics, the label's compilation collections often include a smattering of nationally-known R&B classics from the mid 1950s through the early 1980s, especially those with swing-style back-beats sutiable for Shagging.
Interestingly enough, the label is based far from any large city, in the quiet rural farming community of Elliott, SC.
