G & S looks suspiciously like a product of a custom recording company, and it seems to have been Welsh. The only record I have seen on the label is Chris Gilbert's, 'Love Is All' (GS-1001), which came out in 1977, but intensive research - and if you believe that, you'll believe anything - has revealed the existence of at least two others. The first was an EP called 'Sacred And Traditional Music' by the Newport Cathedral Boys Choir: it was made through John Hassell recordings (q.v.) and had one of that firm's catalogue numbers, HAS-3065, which puts the year of issue at c.1975. Second was an EP by the Cambrian Male Voice Choir featuring 'Stout Hearted Men' and four other tracks. The number of that EP, which also came out in 1977, was given as GS-102. It's possible that Chris Gilbert was the 'G' in G & S; but if he was, who the 'S' was remains to be discovered.
