GHETTO ROCKERS



One of hundreds of short-lived independent labels from the Punk era, Ghetto Rockers will be remembered - by some - for presenting the world with the Snivelling Shits' 'Terminal Stupid', its second release (PRE-2).  Apparently the record was made by music journalists as a practical joke on a rival paper, but it sounded so good that they went on to release an album.  PRE-1 was a Reggae single, 'Africa', by Rico (1977).  Rico also had an LP, 'Man From Wareika', out on the label (PRELP-1; 1977).   Thanks to Paul Winsall for the scan of the paper label, and to Anthony Dunsdon for that of the later injection-moulded type.
