Earth International, Roots International




Another dip into the record box, and today we look at two labels with similar names. 
The top picture shows a UK issue on Earth International, a label run by Pat Rhoden, Les Foster and Denzil Dennis. This was apparently at the same time that Pat Rhoden was involved with Jama and related labels. 
The lower picture shows a JA release on Roots International, one of a number of labels run by B B Seaton. 
At one time I understand he and the late Renford Cogle ran a label named Links which released (among others) It Comes and Goes by The Melodians 
B B Seaton currently releases his vintage productions on the London-based Soul Beat records (his son Richard releases Hip-Hop music in the US on a label of the same name) and runs a publishing company, Metronome Music. 
He has recently written a book, 60 Years After, about his career in music.
