Sonia Pottinger's flagship imprint of the 1970s, successor to her Gay Feet and Tip Top labels, carrying her productions of Culture, Marcia Griffiths and Bob Andy. After she bought the Treasure Isle catalogue from the ailing Duke Reid, her operation managed that legacy too — the most substantial label run by a woman in the music's classic era.
