RECORDS
Tropical Records was a Reggae label, initially a member of the Bamboo Records stable. Tropical was owned by Rupert Cunningham. It issued more than fifty singles, in an AL-000 / AL-0000 series, between 1972 and 1976; though there was a break between 1972 and 1974. Several different label designs and colour schemes were used: early singles had palm-trees on the left-hand side, while ones from the second incarnation had a swirly appearance. During the last year of its life Tropical's records were marketed by mainstream company President; this increased availability may well have contributed to the Chart success of Paul Davidson's 'Midnight Rider' (AL-056) in late 1975. There were three subsidiary companies: Tropical Sound Tracs, 2nd Tracs and Treble C. Distributed By President and Bamboo Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
