ODDBALL PRODUCTIONS
RECORDS
Independent label: Oddball Productions was a Private limited company,
incorporated by Bernard Rhodes on 17 July 1979 under the name Tapecraft Ltd.,
name change to Oddball Productions Ltd. by 1 January 1981. It issued at least
four singles from 1979-81, through four different companies - Parlophone, MCA,
Rough Trade and Polygram - though it kept its own separate label identity with
each. Its first release was the first record by Dexy's Midnight
Runners, 'Dance Stance', The single was handled by Parlophone, and its catalogue
number, R-6028, was borrowed from Parlophone's own numerical
series. Subsequent singles, by Vic Godard and Johnny Britton, were in
a Power Pop sort of vein and were less successful. Other Oddball
labels were operative in the 1990s and the
2000s.
