LONELY I & I
A Reggae label. According to Mark Griffiths Lonely I
& I was run by Lee Francis and D. (Del?) Huntley, and it operated from
1978-81. It appears to have issued just one 7" single, Lee Francis's
own 'Be My Wife Little Girl', which had a catalogue number of L-II-1 and
presumably came out in 1978. Numbers reached at least L-II-4, but the
other three singles were 12"only. Just for the record they were 'A Lonely
I & I' (L-II-2; 1979); 'Deception Of Consciousness' (L-II-3); and 'Throwing
Stones' (L-II-4). All were by Lee Francis. The label shown above was
grey originally, but seems to have gone through the mill
somewhat. Copies with white labels and a coloured logo can be found:
the 12" singles that I have seen have all had that type of label, so perhaps the
7" examples are of a later pressing than the grey one.
