An independent label from 1977-78, Zama was owned by Coventry Punk band The Flys. It issued only two records, The Flys', 'Bunch Of Five' EP (ZA-10; 1977) and a second EP 'Roll It Up And Eat It', by idiosyncratic Folk group Black Parrot Seaside (ZA-11; 1978). EMI soon snapped the Flys up, and thus rendered Zama surplus to requirements. Putting pictures of the bands on the labels, within a recognizable 'company' layout, was a nice touch. Thanks to Simon Hughes for the Flys scan; and to Robert Bowes for bringing the second EP to my attention and for providing the scans of it.
