The main label for Verckys productions in the early to mid 1970s. The chronology of releases is a bit unclear from the limited information available.

To find out more about Kiamuangana Mateta “Verckys”, read Rumba on the River by Gary Stewart (Verso, 2000).

The image, left, is taken from Pieter’s Sea Never Dry blog and it’s a killer tune.
