The inspiration for Rev-Ola came from the Creation Records staff's love of finding or compiling old, rare, and bizarre records.
The label was originally a subsidiary of the Creation Records publishing arm, Creation Songs, in which guise it also issued spoken word recordings by William Shatner and Ivor Cutler, as well as first-time reissues by favoured artists, such as Fred Neil and Yma Sumac.
Other executives at Rev-Ola include art director and songwriter Andy Morten, and mastering engineer Norman Blake (of Teenage Fanclub).
After Creation Records shut shop in 1999 Rev-Ola became an imprint of the Glasgow-based PoppyDisc label, founded by Foster with Paul Cardow.
