Bradley's Records
Bradley's Records was a UK record label in the mid-1970s. It was founded by ATV Music publishers in 1973 and run by Derek Johns. The label was active for four years with moderate success, but was discontinued in early 1977.[1] Three acts were chosen to launch the label in February 1973: Prog-rock band Kala[2] (an offshoot of Quintessence), Paul Brett[3] and Hunter Muskett. Lack of commercial success caused a re-think and in late 1973 all three original acts departed (Kala were dropped after they refused to change their musical direction and wear glitter and make-up).[4] Stuart Slater, who by now had replaced Johns, began to concentrate on releasing singles by pop artists; a policy that was to provide a number of chart hits. Among its roster of artists were television comedy trio The Goodies and Stephanie de Sykes (Slater's partner) who both had top 20 hits in the UK.[5][6][7] Other hits released by the label included Sweet Dreams' "Honey, Honey" - a top 10 hit in 1974.[8] Other acts signed by Bradley's Records included: References
