GAY TIME
RECORDS
Independent label: Gay
Time Records appears to have been a custom-pressing label. Numbering
was in a GTKEP-1000 series and it reached at least GTKEP-1009, which was
Pyramid's 'I Believe In Music'. GTKEP-1005 was a cover version of
'Bohemian Rhapsody', which sounds ambitious; it was by a band called 'Black
Lace' - probably not the '80s hitmakers. There are no dates on the labels,
but 'I Believe In Music' was covered several times in the '70s and 'Bohemian
Rhapsody' topped the charts in 1975, so it's a good bet that Gay Time dates from
the late '70s. I wonder if the title had any significance - the word 'Gay'
had lost its original meaning by the time the 1970s rolled around.
The records were produced by Paul Kacharia and Freddie Davies, who also
appears to have produced everything on the Kentone label, suggesting a link
between the two labels. Distributed By Gay Time Records. Thanks to
