Jamaican and UK 7" record label illustrations.

The 7" single has always been the favoured format for Jamaican music. This is mainly due to the emergence of recorded music through the sound systems and the economics of the whole process. Whilst many Jamaican recordings only ever appeared on blanks (white labels), on many other occassions attractive and colourful label designs were used to entice the buyer. Frequently (though not always!) the UK issuing labels would follow suit.
