Also, it's the label responsible for "Doomsday" by the Purple Sun. An amazing psych fuzz single that to this date, I've only been able to chase down a few scraps of info on them, or for this label as well.
Rampart Street Recording Studio was located at 6105 Jessamine, in Houston, Texas. "A subsidiary of Votan Corporation." Needless to say, I've found no info on the "Votan Corporation." The address is now an auto parts store.
Most of their catalog states 'Unknown" for release dates, with the exception of The Purple Sun (1970), and Stone Axe (1971).
Their entire catalog:
Stan Corbitt "Only One Girl Like You" (7"Single) cat.# 45-0307
Hermillo Ortez "I'm A Happy Guy' (LP Album) cat# LP 1002
Unfortunate Sons "A Mans Last Hour"/'Proud Mary"(7"Single) cat# RSRS 0168
The Purple Sun "Doomsday"/"Give Your Life" (7"Single) cat# RSRS 0285 - 1970
Billy Holeman and BHT ''Louisiana Lover Man" (7"Single) cat# RSRS 0336
Stone Axe "Slave of Fear''/"Snakebite" (7"Single) cat# RSRS 0361 - 1971
Jef and the Kickers "See The Funny Little Clown" (7"Single) cat#RSRS 0527
Gehenna "Decades''/"Mystery Tree" (7" Single) cat# RSRS 0531
Jef And the Kickers "Treasure of Mine" (7" Single) cat# RSRS 0558
Thursday's Children "No More Rock and Roll" (7"Single) cat# RSRS 0608
TSU Tornados "Please heart Don't Break"/"Ain't Nothin' Nowhere" (7"Single) cat# RSRS 0644
Out of all of these releases, only one is a full length LP, the rest 7" Singles.
Not a very extensive catalog, and consisting of local Texas acts.
