RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Jama Records was run by Pat Rhoden, Tito Simon and Earl Martin. A more robust organisation than many of its competitors, Jama had at least two subsidiaries, Eagle and Love Records and lasted from 1975 into the '80s. Many of its records were manufactured by Phonogram, and had injection-moulded labels. From 1976-77 the Jama labels were given mainstream distribution, through Transatlantic. As far as numbering is concerned, it was somewhat haphazard. Prefixes varied, both 'JAMA' and 'JA' being used; one single had a 'JAR' prefix, The number of 0s in front of the actual number tended to vary too. By mid 1979, Spartan had taken over distribution and the numbers had risen to JA-0048; the company was still going in October 1984, with distribution by Jetstar. Some old numbers were re-used for new records in the 1980s. Distributed By Jama Music and Jetstar Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
