GAZ'S ROCKIN'
RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Gaz's
Rockin' Records was a Ska and reggae label run by Gaz Mayall (hence the
name). The eldest son of Blues legend John Mayall, Gaz was raised on a
musical diet of R&B and was dragged around every beat, pop & rock
festival and venues throughout the sixties as a child. First becoming a lifelong
fan of reggae as a kid on the football terraces in the skin head era circa
1968-72. Gaz's Rockin' Records kicked off in October 1985 with the launch of
Potato 5's debut 7" and 12" singles, leading to the labels first album release
"Floyd Lloyd & Potato 5 meet Laurel Aitken" in February 1887. Gaz had been
temporarily managing the group and needed to launch his own dream indie label to
promote his club, sound system style modeled on the 1960's Jamaican ska labels
like Prince Busters, Coxsones & Duke Reids. With the advent of his own band,
The Trojans, Gaz made more singles and another album in 1987 to put his label on
the ska world map and continued at a rate of about an album release or more per
year. Mainly devoted to the field of ska and its hybrids, Gaz has often branched
out with his productions to include world music such as the well acclaimed
Baghdaddies debut CD "Last Tango in Babylon" featuring the gypsy flavour of the
underground festy scene. Distributed By Gaz's Rockin' Records.
