We are very proud to announce the first compilation of JDI material ,
a rare label treasured by collectors from all four corners of the world.
The label ran for almost 3 years between 1965 to 1967 during the hot
Ska and Rock Steady period. JDI productions had a unique
hi-fashion style, different from the likes of Studio One and Prince
Buster productions. The two JDI bands - The Diamonds and Los
Caballeros were housed residents at the Johnson’ s Drive Inn
premises owned by the man himself Mr Copley Johnson with tip top
singers like Lloyd Williams and Roy Panton on vocal duties. When
you listen to the JDI releases , you can actually feel the vibes of the
JDI night club at that present time ! The JDI band members included
a young Karl “cannonball” Bryan, Sammy Ismay, Freddie Butler
(brother of well know keyboardist Leslie Butler) and Lloyd Delpratt.
Mr Brian Keyo provides great liner notes once again ! We hope you
enjoy our new release .
