HONEY
RECORDS
Independent label: Honey Records. The second Honey label
to surface in the 1970s. This particular Honey would seem to have issued
at least eight singles, if the catalogue number of 'I'm Going Back' by Johnny
St. Peters - HNY-008 - is anything to go by. The appearance of the label
itself - plain, with the name of the company at the top - is typical of a custom
recording or a small independent, the number of copies pressed must have been
very small. The Johnny St. Peters single, which couples an Irish
expatriate song with an enthusiastic version of a Rock' n' Roll song called 'The
Hucklebuck Is Back', came out in 1978; it is possible that the company - if a
company it was - may have started issuing records in 1977, but until some other
examples come to light Honey remains something of a mystery. A third Honey
label, which was coloured orange-and-white, used COMB-0 catalogue numbers and
put records out from 1969 into the early '70s, was from the Irish Republic,
Distributed By Honey Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
