A Reggae label, with connections to producer Bunny Lee. The '70s version of Aggrovator managed just a couple of records. The first was from 1976 and was a pre-release only 7" of 'M.P.L.A.' by Tapper Zukie, which eventually surfaced on the Klik label (q.v.); it was followed in 1977 by a proper release, 'Dread Involved' by Jah Stitch. The Jah Stitch had a catalogue / matrix number of BS-100; both singles had versions on the 'B' side. In both cases the titles and artists were hand-stamped onto plain labels - Stitch's name was misspelled - and the centres of the singles were cut out, presumably to give them an authentic Jamaican look. Copies exist without hand-stamps and with centres intact. Aggrovator made a belated reappearance in the UK from 2011 to 2013 and issued another nine singles during that period, using the same basic label design but in various colours.
