Gene-R Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Pete, I would say it was a JA original. Some pressings continued to be pressed in Jamaica right through to the 1980s, but I would assume that later presses would have plain black and white labels (eg, Nina Simone on Bethlehem etc).

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) It's a boot, Pete - all of Coxsone's issues of RRR are boots, regardless of whatever colour the label is. He never had the rights to Musicor, although the did have the rights to Calla and in fact he put out Jerry Williams' "Baby Bunny (Sugar Honey)" on Ja. Calla (with the same catalogue number as shown on this pressing of RRR, which is the US Musicor number on the left hand 'side' of the label)! I have a feeling that he didn't put either of these records out until the early 70s, by which time Calla had temporarily ceased to exist as a record label. I've got an original Ja. Calla, of Tony Fox' "Lean On Me" (the tune that the Maytals ripped off for 'Pressure Drop'). If it's handy I'll scan it and post it up. It has "distributed by Studio 1" and the Brentford Road address printed round the bottom of the label", a sure sign that Coxone wasn't hiding anything when he released it.... I'd say, though, that of all the different bootleggings that Coxsone did of RRR, with the different label colourings, this is the 'original bootleg'!

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Here you go, then, a 'real' Jamaican Calla from the time when Coxsone actually had the rights to distribute the label... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
