WESTERN KINGSTON

A Reggae label, owned
by Dennis Harris and distributed by D. L. International. Western Kingston
issued several singles in Britain in 1976, numbering them in the WK-500s.
The catalogue number of Pat Francis's 'Rasta Protest', WK-506, suggests that
there ought to be at least five others, but Googling has supplied only two:
'Clean Up Woman' by Samantha Rose (WK-504), and the Merry Makers' 'Untouchable
Special' (WK-505). Thanks to Mark Griffiths for bringing the label to my
attention and for supplying whatever information this page contains; thanks also
to Charlie Chalk of the 45cat site for the use of his scan here. The Pat
Francis record had mid-blue-and-white labels rather than green-and-white, but
all the singles had large spindle holes after the usual West Indian fashion.
