PLAYBOY



A Reggae label; apparently a one-off in this country, though it had a Jamaican counterpart which may have been more prolific.  'There's An Island' b/w 'Version' by Baby Bertie came out in 1975 with a catalogue number of PB-1000; it was produced by Bertie Chin and pressed by small independent manufacturers C.H. Rumble.  An earlier Baby Bertie single, 'A Walking Miracle', had appeared the previous year on the Harry J label (q.v.) here, as HJ-6686, but on Playboy in Jamaica.  That too was produced by Bertie Chin, so it seems a reasonable guess that Playboy was his.  Thanks to Charlie Chalk for permission to use his scan here.
