RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: K & B Records was Distributed by Black Wax for at least part of its existence. 'K & B' started life in 1974 and issued singles in a KB-5510 series, reaching KB-5540 in 1977. It had four different label designs during its lifetime. These designs came in a variety of colours, some of which are not very legible. The blue 'grid' design was used for the first three singles; it turned yellow for the next three. A boxed logo followed, in grey-blue on white for KB-5517 and 5518, and in pink-on-white thereafter). The inverted triangle logo seems to have made its first appearance with KB-5521 and, in silver on various shades of blue or green, lasted until KB-5528, when the font used in it changed. The colour changed to purple-on-pink and the credits migrated to different positions on the label for the final few issues, starting with KB-5533. Some singles, presumably popular re-pressed ones, can be found with different types of labels. A number of the company's products were produced or recorded by Buster Pearson, who owned the label. Buster Pearson (4 May 1941 - 14 October 2012), born Stedman Pearson in Jamaica, was a musician and producer, best known for being the father and former manager of British pop group Five Star. He also owned and ran a number of record labels, most notably the 70s reggae label K&B Records and the 80s R&B/dance label Tent Records, He moved to the UK in the late 1960s and toured as a guitarist with soul and reggae artists such as Otis Redding, Jimmy Cliff, Wilson Pickett and Desmond Dekker. He was married to Delores, mother to Five Star, who also helped out with the business side of things. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
