Can anyone add to the following (short) list of the artists production co-operative 'Links'. These, all from 1968, are the only ones I am sure of:

Aren't you the guy Gaylads, The
Can't see you Ken Boothe
Give love a try Delroy Wilson
It comes & goes Melodians, The
Looking for a girl Gaylads, The
Sweet rose Melodians, The

Charlie,
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by Links, but these two were linked to Links (awful!) in an old discography. Both tracks co-produced by Bunny Lee & Delroy Wilson and originally released in late 60's. Out again not so long ago on Neville Sounds.

I Want To Love You - Delroy Wilson
Once Upon A Time - Delroy Wilson

I should have checked first but the two titles I gave were back to back originally on 7" label Links (UK) 1968. The producers were Delroy Wilson & Stranger Cole.

There was another label about at the time W & C (Wilson & Cole?) which may be of interest to you
Love Me This Evening / Over Again - Stranger Cole & Gladdy Anderson
So Nice Like Rice / Over Again - Charley Kelly / Stranger & Gladdy
(know nothing about these two but both from 1968 through Island)

Don't Get Weary/Version - Tony Brevett, no year on label, early 70s I think. Maybe 1971/72.

"So nice like rice" is a top tune, Thought that one was a S Cole production.
Had never noticed that it came on Island.

Can dub you that one Jackie if you want, Mail me!

Links label was the association of the artists you see below, BB Seaton said it fell apart because of unequal sharing of the organizational work and squabbles over money.

Sweet Rose/It Comes And Goes by The Melodians are two all-time rock steady killers that I just picked up on UK Fab on EBay.
