Yes, amazing what a single strand of information will lead to. I'm kicking myself for not noticing the connection earlier. I mean, there were only three pressing plants in Jamaica at the time: WIRL (owned by Seaga) Lee Enterprises (owned by Lee) Federal Records (owned by Khouri) What I couldn't do was figure out where GloKen fit in as a "manufacturer", which is what the labels imply. But thanks to servi's OCR post, it all fell into place. GloKen was not a manufacturer at all, but a distributor owned by the same couple who owned Federal Records, a manufacturer. So no connection to WIRL, and seemingly an earlier Capitol licensee. How I missed the GLOriaKENneth connection perplexes me. BTW, it was Khouri who influenced Lee to buy WIRL from Seaga. This reduced the number of pressing plants in Jamaica to two. |
