ROACH (SPLIFF and RR prefixes)
The second Roach label appears to have managed just three singles, only
one of which was issued in the 1970s. 'We Want It Legalised', by Accident On
The East Lancs (SPLIFF-01; 1979) was from our decade; the only other Roaches
I've seen listed were from 1981 and were numbered in the RR-0s. They were
another Accident On The East Lancs single, 'The Back End Of Nowhere' (RR-1;
2/81), and Tractor 81's 'Average Man's Hero' (RR-2; 10/81). All three seem to
have been products of Cargo studios, Rochdale. Thanks to Simon Hughes for the
picture.
