Brockley Lovers

Lover's Rock

Posted by Hello

According to the sleevenotes of The Lover's Rock Story, Lover's Rock had its origins in Upper Brockley Road where label founder Dennis Lascelles Harris owned a record store called Eve Records, complete with recording studio in the basement. The label of course gave its name to a whole reggae genre: the sleeve above is from its first 12", 'Reggae Woman' by George Williams (1977). (thanks to Thomas K. for this tip).
