A Reggae label, but a slightly odd one. Mark Griffiths writes that Achilles belonged to David Sinclair, a.k.a. Tapper Zukie, who was responsible for the only issue on the label: a single called 'Liberation Struggle' b/w 'Double Struggle', which came out in 1978. The same single had been released during the previous year on Sinclair's 'Stars' label (q.v.); the Achilles reissue consisted of Stars singles with Achilles labels pasted on to them. Stars singles were injection moulded, which made the pasting effect very obvious. The scan, which appears by courtesy of Nicholas Hough, has been comprehensively doctored to get rid of staining, so approach it with care.
