Canadian? Or is that black?

 

possibly, i said jamaican due to the seller being based in florida, a lot of jamaican / west indian records found there way there

i'm pretty sure it's jamaican, they had a lot of weird stax related presses. i have the temprees 3 on jamaican stax (not we produce).

Jamaican seems favourite - particularly since it has a pre Atlantic split design label on a post split tune

No reason for it not to be on yellow though even if it is jamaican

Possibly from another part of the West Indies (eg, Barbados etc).  Can't see the typface too well, but it does look like a West Indian press of some sort.

 

Having said that, he does have other Jamaican 45s on his auction list.

 

Here's a Jamaican Staple Singers 45 on Stax which is on 45cat - blue label, but not as dark as the Jean Knight.  According to the page of Jamaican Stax 45s, the old label design (and a myriad of colours) was being used there at least until 1973.
