Jet Set Records

Not to be confused with Jetset Records.

Jet Set Records is a French record label owned by Enzo Hamilton, which specialized in Jamaican music reissues. It was most active in the 1990s.

Apart from artists' compilations they also focused on record producer works with albums on Leslie Kong, Phil Pratt and Derrick Harriott. Jet Set is particularly noted for its series of CD reissues of original ska and rocksteady LPs from Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label. These were co-ordinated by label manager Patrick Ungur in Paris, and featured the original Jamaican sleeve artwork and graphics by label's art director Yves Loffredo, with new liner notes by English music journalist Mike Atherton.

Enzo Hamilton had previously worked with UK r&b and soul reissue label Charly Records, and had his own Culture Press label, based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, before moving to Paris and establishing Lagoon Records, the predecessor of Jet Set.
