ROK (1979)



An offshoot of Punk label The Label, Rok Records is credited with issuing the first Mod 'revival' single, Squire's 'Get Ready To Go' (ROK-I; 3/79); it released a handful of other singles as well, including one by expatriate Swedish NWOBHM outfit the E. F. Band, and a Various Artists LP, 'Odd Bods Mods and Sods'.  Unusually, Rok gave different catalogue numbers to the 'A' and 'B' sides of its singles, perhaps because all of them were split between different groups.  Again unusually, the catalogues were in Roman numerals.  In the discography below, ROK-I and ROK-II are two sides of the same single, as are III and IV, V and IV, and so on.
