JUMBO
A Reggae label, run
by Bill and Pete Campbell of BB Records. Jumbo seems to have
issued eight singles in 1975-76, including the one shown above, Pete
Campbell's 'Heavy Winner' (JUM-008; 1976). Numbers were basically in
the JUM-000s, though one or both of the noughts could be omitted, and
the label appeared in a black-on-white version as well
as a brown-on-yellow one. There was a record shop in
Leeds, run by Hunter Smith, which had the same
name and logo, but it is now thought unlikely that there was any link between
the shop and the label. Thanks to Mark Smith and Mark
Griffiths for the ownership information.
