A Reggae label. Mark Griffiths reports that Tempus was jointly owned by John Francis and Dennis Bovell, and that it was based at 21A Malvern Road, London W9; by the time 'Lili Twil' by Raaw came out it had moved to Glenloch Road, NW3. It issued ten 7" singles, in a TEM-100 series, during the years 1977-78. In common with a lot of other Reggae labels it turned its attention to 12" singles, which it numbered in the TEMD-0s and issued from 1978-79.
