Lacksley Castell and Don Carlos are so close because Don Carlos is the producer of Castell's LP's. NEGUS ROOTS is Don Carlos' label. Lots of killers, check out your record shop as it seems they are repressing...

Yep, pupa pisces is correct it's not Don Carlos label. It is in fact Robert "Flako" Palmer's label. I think they only put out a handfull of releases. I just read somewhere that someone, possibly a jamaican musician, bought the whole catalog and is going to re-issue it. In fact Castell's "Princess Lady" album is set to be the first which should have come out last month. I haven't seen it around but I'm sure going to look. My copy is in bad shape. Killer tunes!!

Princess Lady has been repressed and available for months now.
