Anyone know this? Version of New York City.

What year is that? Thought the UK magnet label was red and black in the 70s?

Is it Mark Holden, not Mark Holder? - Australian geezer, sang that sort of stuff in the 70s?

No there's two Magnet labels mate, the first one (as above) is a reggae label, the second was unrelated. Singer is definitely jamaican.

There's stacks of things on Fab Andy, in fact it's one of the hardest UK labels to collect because of the numbering system and also because they issued many many records on blank labels only. 200+ releases on the labels, some good soul things from Laurel Aitken, Sugar Simone, Owen Gray, there's even a PJ Proby release on there.

That's right, didn't it have the centre cut out or something like that?

Here's another really obscure UK label, sorry about the photo quality but it's a very dark label. This was part of the Rio set up, Rio later owned the Doctor Bird label and more or less everything is by Jamaican artists, but the ones I've found on Venus are all R & B tracks and most are dancers. I think there are only 5 or 6 releases on the label. I know there are hundreds of obscure reggae labels but I include this one for the R & B releases.

ha ha c&w pete that ones definatly listed. My main want is the gregory issacs dancing floor. Is Cargo uk obscure ?

Yes that's right Pete it's a really amatuerish Black & White photo job , got a box of 45's in the 70's (2-300) of an amusement arcade owner who used to come to our pub , knew I collected records and dropped this box round , all mint with the label corners all stapled! Tons of Reggae Camel, Unity , Parrot?, Island most I'd never heard of. the only US 45's were Florence Ballad - Love Aint Love (I Think ) 10 Copies and Guy Marks - Loving You has made me bananas !!!

The record you're talking about is called Herbert Spliffington mate, there was also The return Of Herbert Spliffington, these are on the Success label I think, by Rupie Edwards and Sidy or Rupie Edwards Allstars.

Where in the post title does it say magnet ? I thought it said "Very obscure label UK 45's "if i had noticed the word Magnet in there i would never have posted it !

Ive got the Herbert Spliffington from memory its a red label black writing....good 1970 reggae track and an inst version on the other side from memory.

Thanks for that
