HÖR ZU

The Hörzu, or Hör Zu ("Listen!") is a weekly German magazine with TV and radio schedules, first published in 1946, at that time for radio programms only. In 1963, Hörzu started its own record label and licensed records from Electrola Gesellschaft m.b.H. and TELDEC »Telefunken-Decca« Schallplatten GmbH, later also from Polydor and CBS. These records were sold both in record stores and via mail order. Hörzu is mostly known for releasing the German standard editions of many Beatles records. In 1968 Hörzu started a new label imprint for progressive and avantgarde music called Hör Zu Black Label.
