I`ve always been fascinated by reggae label art, with a particular interest in small, independent labels.
Particular favourites are the imposing eagles` head design used by Danny Ray and Sydney Crooks for releases on their Golden Age label, a lot of the labels of Trojan and its` subsidiaries, High Note and Treasure Isle and related labels.
Here`s one from my own collection that I thought people might like to see.
As you can see, this is for a very fine 7" single, Love Festival by Turnell McCormack and the Cordells (though the band name is mis-spelt on the label as Cordels) on the Dottie label, produced by Joyce McEachron.
I`ve not found anything much online about either the Dottie label or Ms McEachron and I know that a number of collectors have tried to find out more about The Cordells without much luck.
I see that the same label released another single by Turnell McCormack and the Cordells, Don`t Take Your Love Away, with Joyce McEachron shown as producer and distributor.
It only remains for me to point out that there has been more than one band called The Cordells, this is the Jamaican band noted for Irie Festival , Three Card Man and others.
If anyone can fill in any of the gaps in my knowledge I`d be glad to hear from you.
