JUMBO

 

 A Reggae label, run by Bill and Pete Campbell of BB Records.  Jumbo seems to have issued eight singles in 1975-76, including the one shown above, Pete Campbell's 'Heavy Winner' (JUM-008; 1976).  Numbers were basically in the JUM-000s, though one or both of the noughts could be omitted, and the label appeared in a black-on-white version as well as a brown-on-yellow one.  There was a record shop in Leeds, run by Hunter Smith, which had the same name and logo, but it is now thought unlikely that there was any link between the shop and the label.  Thanks to Mark Smith and Mark Griffiths for the ownership information.
