AIT an important player in the Kenyan music industry with a publishing wing, EIT, and lots of subsidiary labels such as Africa, yet there seem to be very few records on its own label in circulation. Details of most of the ones in this listing were provided by Peter Toll

The RAS prefixes are licensed from the Nigerian Roger All Stars label, while the CYB singles are licensed from City Special, a South Afrcan label. Presumably NGOZI-5, which is by a popular Zambian band, and SEY DP-3 are also licensed from other countries.

BG 4 is in Luhya and was produced by D Kabaka, presumably Daudi Kabaka.

February 2011: many gaps in the listings have been filled by titles listed in AIT’s own records, which also added seven titles with an AIT/HIT prefix
