SPINNING WHEEL



A Reggae label; part of the Trojan group.  Spinning Wheel arrived in 1970 and departed in 1971, releasing ten singles in the process.  Catalogue numbers were in an SW-100 series, and one design was used throughout.  The text 'Made in England' appeared on records from SP-107 onwards.  Pressing of the Upsetters' single shown above was by Orlake; it is probable that the others singles were also manufactured by that firm, but I haven't seen any of them in the vinyl to be able to confirm that.  If you've got some, look for plus signs separating the component parts of the matrix numbers, as in SW+100+A; that's generally a good indicator.
