Most of these labels are not of Jamaican origin but come from England.
End 1960s/start 1970s Coxsone sold licences of his records to quite a few people (Pama Records and Trojan records mostly) in England. These record companies created the labels to add the product to their roster and released Studio One/Coxsone product through them mainly on 7" but also on LP.
