BLACK
WAX
A Reggae label, from Handsworth,
Birmingham, run by Keith Thornton. Black Wax was a record shop as
well as a label; it also acted as a distributor for its own and for several
other labels (for example K&B and Locks). It issued around twenty
singles, during the period 1975-76. Numbering was in a WAX-0 series,
and several of the early issues were pressed by Lyntone. A fuller
discography than the one below can be found at Tapir's Reggae site.
