DREAD WAX
A Reggae label. If the catalogue number of the only Dread Wax
single I have seen - the anonymous 'U Roy Special' shown above - is anything to
go by, Dread Wax would appear to have issued at least seven singles, but as is
the case with records of West Indian origin the others may not have had a
British release. There's nothing on Google about them,
anyway. The year of issue of 'U Roy Special' was 1976, and numbering
was in a DW-500 series. Mark Griffiths writes that the label may have been
associated with Dennis Harris's DIP International company (q.v.).
