Chin's Calypso Sextet appears in early Jamaican mento catalogue contexts associated with Motta-era recording.

Count Lasher's mento sides were issued via Motta's MRS operation in Kingston (Rough Guide to Reggae).

Lord Fly cut some of the earliest commercial Jamaican mento sides at Motta's MRS around 1951 (Rough Guide to Reggae).
