ATA
RECORDS
Independent Reggae
label. Run by Buster Pearson. ATA issued at least seven 7" singles
and one 12" in 1977-78; it added another 12" in 1979 and one more in 1981, but
that seems to have been the lot. Catalogue numbers of the 7" records were
in an ATA-1000 series. Marketing of the first release was by K & B
Records, by the time of the third the marketing credit had changed to ATA.
Four different label designs were used: ATAs 1001 and 1003 had blue-green
labels, 1002 and 1005 had red ones with a shadowed logo, 1010 and 1013 had red
ones with white circles and an oval logo, while 1008 had a white one with the
oval logo in red. Distributed By K & B Records. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
