Gas




Starting with "Gimme Little" by Junior Smith, released in 1968, Gas released over 70 singles until the last in 1971.The label seemed to change from green to yellow sometimes, but maybe the record stamper was using up his ink!!!
Some classy releases on Gas included Lester Sterling's "Reggie In The Wind", The Uniques
"Too Proud To Beg", Roland Alphonso's "1,000 Tons Of Megaton", "Tell Me Now" by Marcia Griffiths, and Alton Ellis' "Suzi e", "Diana" followed by the immortal "Back To Africa".
The real star of Gas though, was the great Pat Kelly, who released such gems as "How Long Will It Take", "Festival Time", "If It Don't Work Out", "Workman Song", "Tell Me Now", "Striving For The Right", "Personally Speaking" and "Tammy". Some great rock steady as well as skinhead reggae make Gas a collectors item.
