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.
