Pace Records (2)

American record label associated with the Up With People artists. News article as published in the 28 Jan 1967 edition of Billboard magazine: "Rearmament Group in New 'Movement': Form a Label LOS ANGELES -The Moral Rearmament movement has formed its own record label, Pace, and hired Don Blocker to run the operation. Blocker's agreement with the patriotic organization is for his services as a independent consultant. The decision to form a record subsidiary follows the successful sale of a premium album offered in conjunction with the recent television special "Up With People," which played on independent stations throughout the nation. Blocker said 750,000 copies of an "Up With People" LP were sold through Schick, the show's sponsor. First act on Pace is the Colwell Brothers, vocal trio singing "What Color is God's Skin" backed with "Freedom Isn't Free." Brian Ross, rock 'n' roll producer, a&red the session which used 60 supporting voices and musicians. The intention is to spring acts touring with the Rearmament show for the disk wing, not necessarily go talent hunting. Blocker will handle national distribution, promotion and a&r coordination."
