79
A Reggae label.
Catalogue numbers suggest that 79 issued at least four singles,
but I've only been able to track down two. The
Warriors' 'In Love With An Angel' b/w 'It's Too Late' was numbered BH-002, the
prefix reflecting the initials of Barry Howard who owned the label and
produced and arranged the record. The prefix had disappeared by the time
'Kunta Kinte' b/w 'Kunta Version' by Battersea-based band Black Volts
(004) came out. Both date from 1977.
