Hmmm. That track 'My Devotion' I have on the artists own JB's Record label (Junior Booth - the singer/producers own label) I don't recall it ever coming out on CSA records. Interestingly, one of the releases on CSA was Errol Dunkley's - Betcha By Golly Wow my copy being a 10".
Clive Stanthorpe at one time was in charge of Trojan records. I have not heard anything from him for at least a decade. He's eitheer retired from the music business or passed on.

And it also came on a SCA compilation album:

Junior Brown most likely did a licensing deal with CSA.
JB records was distributed by Jetstar (mainly), CSA had a deal at the time with PRT,(formerly PYE records)who were very capable of distributing nationally if a reggae song was going to sell in sufficient numbers - and I'm not intending to diss jetstar with that remark. Jetstar have distributed records into the national charts.
I recall seeing a photo of him in black echoes when he left trojan records to set up CSA records, and he looked like a man who was in his late 40's - 50's, which would now make him in his 70's or 80's. I've not seen anything yet to say that he has passed on.

Clive is retired from the music business, but still runs a company called CSA Word, an audiobook publisher.
