DOUBLE L
A Reggae label. 'Love Time' by Rastus & The
Lovetouch Brothers (2-LL; 1975) looks Jamaican but according to
Mark Griffiths it was a product of Black Wax Records (q.v.) of Birmingham,
who are credited on the label, and was British. There is at
least one other Double L record out there: 'Searching' by Leroy
Lindsay. That looks equally Jamaican, and lacks both a catalogue
number and a date, but it too credits Black Wax. 'You pays your money and
you takes your choice' with that one, as they say. Thanks to Nicholas
Hough for the scan.
