JJ RECORDS (Reggae)



A Reggae label, and a member of the Doctor Bird family.  JJ issued records from 1968-70.   For most of its life it borrowed its catalogue numbers from the main Doctor Bird DB-1000 (later DB-1300) series, and occasionally from Pyramid's PYR-6000s.  Doctor Bird ceased to exist as an independent entity in 1969, but a short series of singles on JJ with JJ-3300 numbers appeared from c.1969-70.  Trojan picked up the Doctor Bird and Pyramid labels in the early '70s; it may be that the JJ-3300s were a Trojan product as well, though as yet I have not been able to confirm that.
