KING GEORGE



A Reggae label.  The only record on King George that I have ever seen is the one pictured above, 'Mixed Up Man' by British band Black Slate; it came out in 1976, and had a catalogue number of KG-001.  Issues from KG-003 (KG-002?) onwards came out on the Slate label (q. v.).  Mark Griffiths writes that King George was run by the keyboard player with Black Slate at the time, 'Sir' George Brightly, who produced 'Mixed Up Man'; he appears to have got promoted from 'Sir' to 'King' at some point, which isn't a bad leap if you can make it.
