STYLISH LLOYDIE

A Reggae label, apparently a one-off. There's no
date on the label of the only Stylish Lloydie single that I have been able to
trace, 'I Want To Be Proud Of You' by Lloyd Banton (SLR-1), but as that singer
had at least two other singles out in the 1970s ('My Sweet Cecile', on Horse,
HOSS-129, in 1976; and 'You Will Be My Love', on Burning Sounds, BS-039, in
1979) it seems likely that it dates from the second half of the '70s or perhaps
the early '80s. Robert Bowes, who was kind enough to bring the label
to my attention and to supply the scans, suggests 1978. It's good to
see that Lloyd went to the bother of having a company sleeve for his
records.
