A Reggae label, owned by George Brightly. Slate appears to have been intended primarily (solely?) as an outlet for records by the group Black Slate - band member Anthony Brightly was George's son. Its records were marketed by Faith Records and distributed by Mojo. Slate started out in 1976, issung singles in a KG-000 series; KG-001 was issued on the King George label (q. v.), which accounts for the rather inappropriate prefix. The highest number that I have traced is KG-008, Black Slate's 12" single 'Live Up To Love', which came out in 1978, but several numbers are so far unaccounted-for and appear not to have been used.
