BB (1)



A Reggae label, owned by Bill Campbell and Barbara 'Ginger' Williams.  Going by the highest catalogue number that I have happened upon so far, BB issued around 30 singles in the period 1976-c.78, though as can be seen from the discography below there are several that I have not been able to trace.  Thereafter it seems to have concentrated on 12" singles, until it disappeared in the mid '80s.  Many of its records were Bill Campbell productions.  In the late '70s and early '80s it had a stablemate in the Union label (q.v.) which again featured many of productions by Bill Campbell or by members of his family.  There would appear to be a connection to the Jumbo label (q.v.) as well.  Numbering was in the BB-000 or BB-0000s.  The company appears to have used just the one label design, which came in several different colour schemes.  Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan of the first three labels.
