Rampart Records are on facebook, as is/was Hector Gonzalez, owner of the label.

 

There is a fairly incomplete discography here - https://www.discogs.com/label/Rampart%20Records

 

You could fill in a lot of the gaps pretty easily.  Four Tempos, Atlantics, Ron Holden etc etc.

Thanks for the info

east bay soul brass actually came out twice on the label, one has trumpet lead, the other sax, same backing track.  weird.  i also dig cannibal & the headhunters stuff.

The Four Tempos, Invinctbles, Soul-jers, Atlantics, Village Callers and Barry White had good records out on that label.  Even Cannibal and The Headhunters, whose fast songs I don't like in the slightest, sang a few nice ballads for the label.

Four Tempos-Got to have you is a very good record IMHO, my guess is the label came out of Los Angeles, think there is a district in LA called Rampart

There is a district called The Rampart District.  It is centered around Rampart Street, soutwest of Echo Park.  It is populated mainly by Latinos, and has several gangs.  I thought that Hector Gonzalez' labels were located in East l.A.  But, maybe he, himself lived in The Rampart area.

I saw a film a few years ago with Danny Glover in, can,t remember what it was called, but he saved a white guys ass who had broken down, I am quite sure it was Rampart where it happened, looked quite dodgey to me

Don't forget the Faro "family" of labels, of which Rampart were a part, belonged to Eddie Davis -

Hector inherited them in 1994, as you can read in the link.

Yes, clearly I should have stated Eddie Davis and billy Cardenas' labels (including not just Rampart, but also Faro, Linda and Whittier.
