Because they licensed music in from all manner of Jamaican labels, in the first year alone mainly Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid so they wouldn't have been able to get those until the 50 year thing applied as the Coxsone and Treasure Isle labels and subsidiaries were still active and releasing new and mainly reissue material of their own.

Didn't some of the producers sell the copyright to 2 or 3 labels over here?

They did but that was mainly around 69-70 when the producers could afford to come over here themselves to speak to Trojan and Pama.

Ages ago when I used to go record hunting in the US, dealers were always asking about the Jiving Juniors on Blue Beat, a big Vocal Group collectors 45. I'm guessing that it didn't get release in Jamaica???

Which one ? I can check up if you name the tune

There's no Jiving Juniors release from the UK that didn't come out in Jamaica as far as I can see from the discography.
