MORPHEUS
A Reggae label, owned by Dennis Brown and Castro
Brown and run by the latter from his shop in Croydon. Morpheus
issued around 20 singles in 1975-77, generally using a MOR-1000 numerical
series - sometimes the first two numbers were omitted, and the first release was
numbered MR-01. Some of the labels featured the Deb Music (q.v.)
logo, and another had a DEB-0 catalogue number, indicating a link of some sort
with that label. As can be seen, they came in a variety of colours
and at least three different designs. Thanks to Charlie Chalk of the
45cat site for the first scan, to Robert Bowes for the next four, and to Mark
Griffiths for the ownership information. There are a lot of gaps in the
discography below, some at least of which may be due to the numbers not being
used.
