RADIC
RECORDS

Independent Reggae label: Radic was one of several EMI-distributed labels whose singles shared a RIC-100 catalogue series from 1979 to 1983, it was owned by EMI and that the series was used for licensed Reggae product. Two of the other labels, Arawak and More Cut, also shared the same company sleeve and the same label design, only the logo being different. The third, fourth and fifth, Matumbi, Deb Music and Taxi, didn't.   The numbers reached RIC-118 by October 1983. Just to add to the confusion, the later numbers, RIC 115 to 118, had no label name printed at all. 'Red Nail Records' was underneath the main logo on RIC107. RIC 113 was also issued as a promotional item under another artists name-Jo Anne This appears to be the last of the oddball labels under the prefix 'RIC' as the next known issues using the 'RIC' prefix is for Peter Tosh and these are on the EMI label and the last 'RIC' appears to be 118 (Dub Band) so EMI presumably set these labels up as an experiment and then dumped them after basically no commercial success.
