Design: A very simple design but showing some interesting hand-drawn script lettering. Creole is a mixed-input language, mostly French and African, spoken by most Haitians. The imprinting was done in Linotype Metro, a commonly-used font in commercial letterpress print shops.

History: Unknown (have info? Please send to info.re.78s@shaw.ca). Label scan courtesy of UK collector and musicologist Bill Dean-Myatt.
