Thanks for publishing that,. I thought I'd posted a reply but it doesn't seem to have reached the thread, so if this appears twice, my apologies.
Lindon O. Pottinger is, for one so prolific, a bit of a mystery man to many of us - even the spelling of his name has several permutations. I am not sure when he started producing records - certaily before 1963 (cf. BB146 by Bobby Aitken). But, without devoting too much thought to the subject, I'd assumed that once his wife Sonia started producing records, Lindon faded from the scene. Your list shows that this wasn't so: SP was into production during the ska era (without consulting lots of reference books, I can think of 'King Size' by Baba Brooks which is from about 1965 - it came out here the following year).
So did the husband-and-wife team continue side by side, with LOP operating Gaydisc while his wife took care of Gayfeet? Or did Sonia, appently friendly with Duke Reid, form a business relationship with Treasure Isle, leaving hubby to carry on alone?
Even the few which, as you say, came out over here were shrouded in mystery. For example, R. Dalke attributes the Ben Levy single to Coxsone! Anyone who knos more, I'd be interested in hearing it.

I've got an Al T Joe single on Gay Feet which is from 1962 and, according to RKR, was produced by Lindon Pottinger. This thread is a bit of a coincidence as i am in the middle of doing a cdr comp for myself and this single is included in it. I'll upload the comp to Sendspace tomorrow in case anyone is interested.

Lindon (correct spelling according to the Gleaner ) and Sonia Pottinger got divorced in 1970/71 with Lindon the plaintiff it seems - he was granted a "decree absolute". Not sure what that means but have the impression SP wasn't a hands-on producer, not sure about him.

[prajna]

>he was granted a "decree absolute"

that just means he was granted a final (as opposed to temporary) order, in this case, for divorce.

Lindon Pottinger's first productions appear in 1962, and there are none past 1967, I believe.

RKR presently shows 194 titles.
