RECORDS
Independent label: Bumble began life as a production company. It started issuing its own records in 1972, concentrating at first on singles, and it managed to release around twenty-seven singles and four albums before it closed down, in mid 1973. None of its products are all that commonly met-with nowadays. Some were reissues - for example, a couple of singles and an LP by the Herd - some seem to have been licensed from Dutch sources, and quite a few are listed as being 'Produced by Roger Watson for Independent Master Productions'. Several boast the involvement of Barry Green, who was soon to have hits as 'Barry Blue'. Home-grown material seems to have leaned towards straight Pop and novelty items, such as four-year old Jemimah's version of 'Alley Oop', recorded with the help of the Puddleducks; though Stonehenge's 'Stonehenge' (GE-118; 11/72) is a slow, fairly heavy, instrumental. Many labels marked the 'A' sides of their singles with a large 'A', only Bumble marked the 'B' sides with a large 'B'. Pressing and distribution were latterly by Pye, though the matrix numbers up to at least GE-118 lack the diamond or star that are associated with Pye pressings.
