A DIY label from the Punk / New Wave years, Rollerball issued at least two singles, both featuring Hastings band The Hollywood Killers: 'Hot Hazy Days' b/w 'Unknown Person' (ROLL-1 / R-101; 12/76), which was credited to Jim Penfold And The Hollywood Killers', and 'Goodbye Suicide' b/w 'Tramp' (ROLL-2; 7/78). As can be seen from the picture which Barry Adcock has kindly supplied, the labels of both were of a typical plain SRT DIY design; the first was coloured black with silver printing. According to 'Music Master', distribution was by Royal Oak, of whom I have never heard. In the '80s Penfold went on to record for EMI under the name of 'The Speedos' and for Creole with a re-formed Hollywood Killers.
