AKINS
The 1970s yielded a massive crop of short-lived Reggae
labels. Akins, which was run by Honey Boy, was one of
them. 'Think About Me', by Joe Francis (AKO-1; 1975) appears to have
been its only release. 'Sol Fa', which appears on the label, was the
name of another company in which Honey Boy had an interest: it has its own
page on this site. The single in the scan shown above had been
dinked, so the centre, which has been grafted on by means of a paint
programme, is conjectural. Thanks to Robert Bowes for providing
that scan, and to Mark Griffiths for the ownership information.
