Schneeball
In 1976 the four German musicgroups Embryo, Missus Beastly, Sparifankal and Ton Steine Scherben
decided to found their own music label: April Records.
They were supported by the already existing independent label Trikont.
In the following months some other groups joined April, so April decided to split into April 1 and April 2.
In the end of 1977 April was forced by CBS, owner of the label april-music, to rename to
Schneeball - Vertrieb der Musiker ( snowball - distribution of the musicians ).
