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.
