BUSY BEE
RECORDS

 Busy Bee Records was a small independent label, based in Leicester.  Catalogue numbers suggest that Busy Bee put out at least three records; there was a four year gap between the first and the last, which strongly suggests that the company wasn't a full-time concern.  Two of those records were singles by Martin Harvey.  'The Leicester Festival Song' b/w 'Town Crier' (BBOS-001) saw the light of day in 1980, while 'Maggie Will Always Be Around' b/w 'Vote Conservative' (BBOS-003) was from 1983. Greg Knight produced both of the singles and co-wrote a couple of the tracks, so it seems reasonable to assume that he was involved with the label.  He certainly seems to have been deeply involved with Lord Bug Music, the pubishers of the 'Leicester Festival Song'. Previous to his Busy Bee singles Martin Harvey had released a self-financed album, 'This Is Me', on SRT Records (SRTX/CUS-77095; 1977). It issued singles in BBOS-000 numerical series. Distributed By Busy Bee Records.
