SOLID SOUND
A Reggae label, owned by Count Shelly and handled by Third World
(q.v.). Solid Sound managed at least a couple of seven-inch singles,
both of them in 1977; numbering was in an SS-000 series. First out of the
blocks was 'Love' by The Main Attractions (SS-001); second - and
last, if googling is anything to go by - was Frankie J. & The
Aggrovators' 'Ghetto Feelings' (SS-002). SS-003, 'Don't Walk Away' by
TMT came out in 1979 and appears to have been twelve-inch only, as
does Hopeton Junior's 'Whip Down Wicked Man' (SSD-001). The last two had
black labels with the company's name in a different type of font.
