LONELY I & I



A Reggae label.  According to Mark Griffiths Lonely I & I was run by Lee Francis and D. (Del?) Huntley, and it operated from 1978-81.  It appears to have issued just one 7" single, Lee Francis's own 'Be My Wife Little Girl', which had a catalogue number of L-II-1 and presumably came out in 1978.  Numbers reached at least L-II-4, but the other three singles were 12"only.  Just for the record they were 'A Lonely I & I' (L-II-2; 1979); 'Deception Of Consciousness' (L-II-3); and 'Throwing Stones' (L-II-4).  All were by Lee Francis.  The label shown above was grey originally, but seems to have gone through the mill somewhat.  Copies with white labels and a coloured logo can be found: the 12" singles that I have seen have all had that type of label, so perhaps the 7" examples are of a later pressing than the grey one.
