ISDA
A Reggae label, owned by James Winston Thompson, who is better known as
'Dr. Alimantado'. ISDA was a Jamaican company, but the label
indicates that it had a British office at 53 Eton Avenue, Swiss Cottage,
London. Its first release over here was Trinity's, 'Tallie De Banana'
(ISDA UK REL-1001; 1978); it served mainly as a vehicle for material by Dr.
Alimantado, usually in 12" format. ISDA had a sister-label, Vital
Food (q.v.). Thanks to Robeert Bowes for the scan.
