A label releasing Verckys productions. The design of the label is identical in all but name to that of Editions Veve.

The Kenyan imprint appears to carry the same catalogue numbers as the Congolese original. One guide to the date these records were released comes from the presence of SN 013 and SN 014 being advertised by Phonogram in the “charts” it published in the Standard in 1979.
