One of the first German punk record labels, founded by BIG-H.
Rock-O-Rama Records started as a label releasing punk rock and hardcore bands, mostly from and later also from Finland. The first album by German skinhead band Böhse Onkelz (1984) was indexed by the West German government for sexist and violent content and subsequently banned. Releasing White Power band Skrewdriver's second album, Rock-O-Rama gradually turned into a label for various European White Power and RAC (Rock Against Communism) acts. What had started as a label releasing European punk rock of a generally progressive vein, became rapidly known for radical right-wing (and frequently indexed) releases, being for a long time the most successful and notorious label of its kind. Adding to its notoriety, from early on the label repackaged and reissued material without bands' consent or paying royalties.
After the the death of Herbert Egoldt in November 2005 the Label was sold & is active again with selling old stock material, re-issues etc..

Albums rarely, if ever, included lyrics, in order to comply with German law. CD releases, instead of a booklet, contained a double-sided booklet-sized card, with the album art on one side and generic information about the CD format in English, French, German and Italian on the other. Starting from the 1990s, the information was replaced with an ment for the Rock-O-Rama mail-order service.
