ROOTS
(RTZ prefix)

A Reggae label. The were two different Roots labels in the '70s, both of them
issuing Reggae records. This, the second of them, appears to have been an
offshoot of Baal Records (q.v.); six of its eight singles have a credit to Baal
on their labels (2). It operated from 1977 to 1978, and numbered its singles in an
RTZ-0
series. Manufacture and distribution were by Pye, as they were for Baal itself.
