Jamaican Label Art
June 6th 2006 11:43
I’d found out about the website Jamaican Label Art on the Trojan Forum. It is pretty cool. There is already a website doing a similar sort of thing over at: Dancecrasher.co.uk, but it wasn’t laid out especially well and it lacked in a section I was more keen on, which is the sleeve covers reggae records went in. There is also room for more websites like this that do well in presenting a very interesting side to reggae and keeping a historical account. All types of Jamaican music is here whether your taste is U-Roy, Sizzla or Prince Buster or you love you Calypso, ska, roots or dancehall. Catered for.
I was disappointed to discover the website was already down in its very early stage because of the popularity. They exceeded their bandwidth in no time! I was hanging out for it get back up and now it is. It is surprising how something like Jamaican label art can be so popular, but reggae fans are often fanatical and so would find a huge database of record artwork fascinating.
The site is set out in an A-Z section based on the name of the label. There is also a section for sleeves, the site producers’ favourite labels, labels that use the rasta colours red, green and gold and one of my favourite sections, The Ark. The Ark features the labels that use animals in their design! Top work.
I could and will spend hours perusing this site. I do hope a site does add LP album covers as well at some stage because I do like the artwork of albums as well as the sevens. Check out the Jamaican Label Art Website, great content, interesting design and more things to waste your time on - http://www.jamaicanlabelart.com
