In Western Canada in 1974 R.Harlan Smith, along with a business associate Jack Dubasz founded one of Canada's most successful Recordlabel/distributors-100% Alberta owned and controlled, Alberta's Royalty Records.

Royalty Records has grown to become a full service, nationally recognized record label and distributed for both Canadian and International recording artists and labels. Since its creation, the Edmonton based label has focused mainly on country music, and now represents recordings by such current artists as Hey Romeo, Tristan Hornecastle, Tenille, The Orchard, George Fox, Chris Cummings, The Boom Chucka Boys, Jay Sparrow, Blake Reid and Amy Metcalfe.

Royalty Records want to mark their 40th Anniversary, so they produced a 2 disc CD entiled 40th Anniversary-Compilation. Each CD has 20 songs by many of their artists. The CD jacket contains many Milestones & Memories too many to list here, but one can read these achievements on the CD jacket.

Here are the artists with their songs:

R. Harlan Smith-Chris Neilson-Jimmy Arthur Ordge-Russell Thornberry-Glory Anne Carriere-Gary Fjellgaard-Laura Vinson-Larry Gustafson-Greg Paul-Sharon Anderson-Calvin Wiggett-Gord Bamford-Aaron Pritchett-Poverty Plainsmen-Melanie Laine-Gil Grand-Hey Romeo

What a fine produced double CD, and its great to listen to those fine artists from the past up to the present! says Atlantic Seabreeze.

The Royalty Records catalog also includes a variety of other genres of music. Old-time-dance and polka music is represented by five albums from the internationally acclaimed The Emeralds (of Barn Dance fame), polka icons Frankie Yankovic/Walter Ostanek, Brian Sklar's Western Senators and Gaby Haas' catalogue, as well as jazz, big band and solo piano by Canadian great Tommy Banks (former Senator Tom Banks) and Showdown's over popular Rodeo Song.

R. Harlan Smith was inducted into the ACMA Hall of Fame in 2013.
