A Reggae label, part of the NEMS group (q.v.). According to 'Music Week' of the 20th of September 1975 Opal was to be an outlet for product licensed from the Jamaican 'Wild Flower' company, but it sourced records from other companies towards the end. It issued ten singles in 1975-76, in a PAL-0 series; PAL-3 seems not to have been released. Marketing was by NEMS, pressing and distribution by CBS. The label enjoyed Chart success in 1976 with Pluto Shervington's, 'Dat' (PAL-5), but seems not to have survived NEMS's move to RCA.
