When Radio plugger Guy Holmes couldn’t get any interest from any of the record companies he played “I’m Too Sexy” to, he decided to release the track by unknown band Right Said Fred himself. His belief was rewarded with a worldwide hit that is still as popular today as it was nearly 20 years ago.
Gut Records was born and the following signings – Space and Aswad – secured the label’s position. From here spawned an eclectic mix of music, artists and labels which developed into one of the top 5 UK independents. Catalogue highlights include Tom Jones, Fightstar, Crazy Frog and the phenomenal success of the dance imprint Gusto.
