A Reggae / Calypso / Soca / Funk label, American in origin - from Brooklyn, New York, in fact. Most Flames singles don't seem to have made it to these shores, but, if catalogue numbers are anything to go by, at least a couple of them did. Those two were 'Solitary Man' by Raunchie & Bev (F-101), and Errol George's, 'Set Up Yourself' (F-102). Mark Griffiths gives its period of operation over here as 1976-77, and says that it was owned by Ossie Thompson and Winston Jones. It had a sister label, Flamingo (q.v.). Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan.
