In the mid-1980s, Rock-O-Rama was best known for white power rock bands like Skrewdriver. By then, the label had left its punk roots behind and concentrated on records by neo-Nazi and far right bands. Egoldt had developed a reputation for questionable business practices before he began to release records by right wing bands. The label has been accused of defrauding bands of royalties, and of issuing or reissuing records without the consent of the bands. Most of the bands had signed away their rights.
