NATTY CONGO



A Reggae label; Mark Griffiths writes that it was owned by Trevor Bow.  Natty Congo released at least one 7" single, Negus Dawtas' 'I Speak The Truth' (NATTY-001),in 1978.  It also issued several LPs, with PFLP and CLP prefixes, and 12" singles, numbered in the NCDM-000s, between 1978 and 1983.  The 'PFLP' suggests a link with Plastic Fantastic Records, which manufactured and distributed several Reggae labels around that time; by 1983 major Reggae distributor Jetstar was responsible for handling Natty Congo products.   Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan.
