GOLD (2)



The second Gold label from the 1970s.  This particular Gold appears to have been a DIY affair: its only release seems to have been 'Napoleon And Josephine', by Gold 22 (G-2001), which came out in 1976 - some copies just have the group's name as 'Gold'.  Pressing was by Lyntone, as the matrix number, LYN-3591, shows.   Gold 22 sound like a Cabaret Pop group.  Their song, which has an undeniably catchy chorus, had made a previous appearance in 1973, on United Artists, recorded by a group called King's Musik (UP-35603).  Since the label shown above states that the song was written by Gold 22, it would appear that at least some of the band had been in King's Musik.
