TIP TOP
RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Tip Top Records was a Sonia
Pottinger label. And was another one of literally hundreds of Reggae
labels which came and went during the 1970s, usually leaving little or no
impression on the world of music. The address on the first example
indicates that Tip Top, which was a record shop, was based in Green Street,
London E7. It put out at least four singles on its own label in
1978. The catalogue number of K. Christian's 'No Justice For The Poor',
TTR-001, was straightforward, but subsequent releases were numbered 2964, 5185
and 5187. Those number appear to be those of the Jamaican originals; that
was certainly the case with the Jah Ted's 'Rasta Cry' (TTR-5187), which came out
on Living Music GL-5187 in that country. Distributed By Tip Top Records.
