SUMMER TIME



A Reggae label, owned by Clement Bushay.  Summer Time singles - there seem to have been just four of them - came in two different incarnations.  The first, which started out in early 1975 (or possibly at the end of 1974), issued two singles in a CLEM-000 numbering series; it had a design that featured an apple and a rather battered-looking big cat of some sort (1).  For the second incarnation, also from 1975, numbering was in a BUS-10 series and the name was given as 'Summertime' rather than 'Summer Time'; as can be seen, the label showed the gate of a field, with hedges, trees, a rising sun, a bunny rabbit, and - somewhat surprisingly - a lion strolling along (2).  The first single with this design, Locks Lee's 'I'll Never Love Again' ) BUS-10 had a red label.  Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scans.
