A Reggae label. Diamond was run by Winston Curtins and was associated with Empire records. Catalogue numbers suggest that it issued at least five 7" singles, in the period 1976-77, though I've only been able to trace four of them. According to Music Master at least one of the records, Sandra Thomas's 'Love You This Way' (DM-404), was given wider distribution by Lugton's from June 1978 - that particular record had a plain label (2) rather than the standard one (1). From 1977 onwards Diamond seems to have concentrated on 12" singles, the last of which came out in 1980.
