The label of Assanand & Sons music store in Mombasa, which started out releasing 78rpm discs back in the 1950s. The Cuban Marimba tracks date from 1960-65 and are anthologised on the CD Salam Abdallah & Cuban Marimba, Ngoma Iko Kuku, (Dizim Asili, 2000).

HL 7-51, submitted by Ray Templeton, is the only single in the discography so far that is sung in Kidigo. This is a language of the coast south of Mombasa and spreading into Tanzania.

The Sal Davis song is from the 1968 Kenyan film, Mlevi, which also starred Mzee Pembe and Kipanga Athumani. It was one of the few commercially successful films to have been produced in Kenya.

Details of the 1970s singles, with an ASM prefix, were provided by Doug Paterson and Flemming Harrev, with the latter also providing the blue and purple label scan..
