D-ROY
A Reggae label, distributed by
Mojo. D-Roy released c.10 singles in the 1977-78 period, all of which
appear to have been produced by Delroy Witter, who owned the
label. Most of these singles were manufactured and distributed by
Pye; some again were marketed by Plastic Fantastic. Numbering was in
the DR-000s, but for some reason all but one of the singles also have
alternative catalogue numbers, in the GUN-150s, FORCE-1000s or PF-000s; the GUNs
are not in step with the DRs. There also seem to have been two
DR-006es, with different alternative catalogue numbers. The label
used the same logo on at least three different backgrounds - yellow swirls, grey
hoops, etc; DR-004 can be found with two different label designs, one of which
(1) lacks the alternative catalogue number. The scans come by
courtesy of Robert Bowes, the ownership details from Mark Griffiths.
