DUDE
RECORDS
Dude Records was a DIY label. It managed one single.
It issued singles in DU-000 numerical series. Delegation was formed in the
United Kingdom in 1975 by Ricky Bailey, Len Coley and Roddy Harris. Working with
record producer/songwriter Ken Gold (who masterminded The Real Thing), they
began releasing a series of moderately successful singles such as "The Promise
of Love" and "Where Is The Love (We Used to Know)". But their fortunes changed
for the better in 1977 with the release of "Oh Honey," a mid tempo cut that hit
the Top Ten in several countries. The accompanying album, The Promise of Love,
included the ballad "Mr. Heartbreak", "Where Is The Love (We Used To Know)" and
"Someone Oughta Write a Song (About You Baby)," which also charted. Coley left
the band and Bruce Dunbar took his place. In 1984 Dunbar quit and was
replaced by Kathy Bryant. The act recorded a couple more singles, and continued
to perform through the end of the decade. Distributed By Dude
Records.
