A subsidiary label of Trojan Records, set up exclusively for [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Dandy+LivingstoneDandy[/url ([url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Robert+Livingstone+ThompsonRobert Livingstone Thompson[/url) soon after Trojan was formed, in the summer of 1968.

All told, just over two-thirds of Downtown's 115 releases were produced by Dandy himself. The remainder were issued in the 1972-3-period by which time Dandy has reinvented himself as Dandy Livingstone and was recording more commercially based material on [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/HorseHorse[/url an the main [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Trojan+RecordsTrojan[/url label.

After around DT 491, Downtown had deals with all manner of producers and in late 1973 Trojan finally scrapped the imprint.
