AIT is an important player in the Kenyan music industry with a publishing wing, EIT, and lots of subsidiary labels such as Africa, yet there seem to be very few records on its own label in circulation. Details of most of the original ones in this listing were provided by Peter Toll

The RAS prefixes are licensed from the Nigerian Roger All Stars label, while the CYB singles are licensed from City Special, a South African label. Presumably NGOZI-5, which is by a popular Zambian band, and SEY DP-3 are also licensed from other countries. Update: in July 2011, a single in the PAM series appeared on Ebay. It and others with the same prefix in AIT’s master catalogue appear to have been licensed from an Antilles label.

February 2011: many gaps in the listings have been filled by titles listed in AIT’s own records, which also added seven titles with an AIT/HIT prefix
