REDBALL
RECORDS
Independent label: Redball Records seems to have been a custom
recording business; that would account for its large number of issues, their
relative obscurity, and the variation in the kind of music on
them. It was based in Market Drayton, and was run by Terry
Butters. It released at least thirty-six records, using the same
RR-000 numerical series for its singles and LPs alike. Punk singles
such as The Notsensibles', 'I'm In Love With Margaret Thatcher' (RR-021) and
NWOBHM efforts like Vardis', '100 m.p.h.' EP rubbed shoulders with LPs by Roy
Sainsbury ('Gentle Guitar', RR-017) and the Shropshire County School Of Music
Band (Same, RR-009). Redball appears to have operated mainly around
the turn of the decade, 1978 to 1981 - RR-002, the Tremors', 'Modern World',
came out in 1978 - though there are Terry Butters records on the label dating
from the '80s and onwards. Distributed By Neon and Bullet Records. Redball
