A label initially distributed by POK Music Stores in Nairobi. The vast majority of the listings, however, come from AIT’s master catalogue, which suggests a change in the line of production and distribution, while remaining an outlet for Luo bands.

The AIT catalogue also features two records, JOB 24 and 25, with duplicate numbers. I’ve included details of both for now.

It’s not currently possible to tell whether the JOB series preceded the OMO series or vice versa or, indeed, whether the two ran simultaneously. The scan of JOB 38, kindly supplied by Tom Gilks in May 2013, carries no indication of AIT’s involvement, suggesting the two series ran at the same time.
