WIND
RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Wind Records was Jamaican in
origin, owned by Winston Riley and thus a sister to Techniques. Most of
Wind's records seem to have been released only in its home land, but it issued
several singles in Britain in the '70s. Numbering was in a W-0 series,
each side having its own number. As can be seen, the label had a
distinctly Jamaican appearance; but the (few!) of its Jamaican singles that I
have seen have had no catalogue numbers showing. From 1970-74 a number of
Riley's productions had been made available here via Trojan, on the Techniques
label; I would guess that Wind was introduced after that arrangement
expired. There are no dates on the labels, The discography below lists the
British 'Wind' singles that I have been able to trace; W-1/2 is unaccounted for,
and may not exist. Distributed By Wind Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons
