New to this board but seems like there's a lot of knowledge here so just chasing some info.
Got a couple of nice tunes on the K & B label:
African Stone- Run Rasta Run
Dennis Curtis- Come with me
Anyone know any other good tunes on this label or by these artists?
Also got a great 7" on Timba label "Suffering" by Jasaro People. Anyone know anything about them or the label? Any other releases?
thanks for the help
Nice 1

African Stone are Matumbi posing under a different name. Buster Pearson was originally a meek guitarist who worked for Trojan. In the mid-1970s he started the K&B label, getting stuff from Hudson, Woosh and Zukie due to his friendship withy Barry Dunn. That Linford Nugent tune, for instance, is a Zukie production featuring a member of Junior Ross and the Spear.
In the early 1980s I paid a visit to his shop in Ilford. Buster told me that he had stopped issuing records and was now concentrating on making his own children into a group to rival the Jackson Five. They were called Five Star and indeed they went on to become very successful. I still have a photograph of Buster with guitar circa 1973. It is a Trojan publicity shot!
I indeed have the Patrick Alley tune on K&B plus several other Wes Brooks productions. In fact, I think I have the whole K&B catalogue. I also have the Jesaro People side but this has nothing to do with K&B.

thanks for the info, had no idea about the matumbi conection, any other reccomendations on this label?
Always rated wes brooks, still chasing a copy of Lay down your arms.
As for Jasaro People, anyone know anything this lot? Picked mine up about 18 years ago and the guy who floged it to me said there was a dubplate cut with a dub, don't spose anyones heard it?
thanks for any info
cheers

I bought Jasro when it came out - around 1978 - and believe it to be a London recording. Besides that I know nothing..................

Five Star are mostly considered pure cheese now - but back in the day, their tunes were HOT! I too remember visiting Buster Pearson over at Ilford - in about '77 or so. Some of his kids used to help out in his record shop back then. I've always loved Buster's own tune 'Take It Easy' on the K & B label. 'Run Rasta Run' by African Stone was originally released on the More Cut label, which I picked up a UK "pre" at my local record shop, Java Record Shack which was run by Bunny Donaldson. Dennis Curtis - who did 'Come With Me' - is actually Dennis Bovell under a different name and was one of his early solo singles.

I never knew that. Great record and another one I bought new on its release.
