RECORDS
Independent Reggae label run by Junior Lincoln and Rupert Cunningham from a record shop called 'Junior's Record Spot', at 88 Stroud Green Road, London. Initially a subsidiary of Bamboo Records, Ashanti became part of the Trojan group in 1973. Oddly - and confusingly - while the company adopted a new label when they moved to Trojan they reused the Bamboo catalogue numbers. Thus both Lester Sterling's 'Iron Sound' and the Love Children's 'Ship Ahoy' appeared on ASH-409; the former in 1972, the latter in 1974. By 1975 Ashanti was manufacturing records for the Ackee label, but it doesn't seem to have survived into 1976. Distributed By Trojan / B & C Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
