:''This article is about the British independent record label, for the American record label, see Zoo Entertainment.'' Zoo Records was a British independent record label formed by Bill Drummond and David Balfe in 1978. Zoo was launched to release the work of the perennially struggling Liverpool band, Big in Japan (the label's first release being the ''From Y To Z and Never Again'' EP). The label also released two singles by Lori and the Chameleons, Balfe and Drummond's band formed after Big in Japan folded.〔(Head Heritage: Lori And The Chamelons – Touch )〕 Zoo Records went on to release early work from The Teardrop Explodes and Echo & the Bunnymen. The label also released the first single "Iggy Pop's Jacket" by the Liverpool band Those Naughty Lumps. Only two albums were released on the label: a Scott Walker compilation put together by Julian Cope, called ''Fire Escape in the Sky'', and a label compilation called ''To the Shores of Lake Placid''. (In 1995, an American bootlegger took various Zoo 45s and tracks from ''To the Shores of Lake Placid'' and released an illegal bootleg entitled ''The Zoo Uncaged 1978–1982''.) ''Fire Escape in the Sky'' had the catalogue number Zoo Two, while ''To the Shores of Lake Placid'' had Zoo Four. Zoo One was scheduled to be the Teardrop Explodes album ''Kilimanjaro'' (later released on Mercury Records) while Zoo Three was to be the same band's album ''Wilder'' (or perhaps their 'never released' album ''Everyone Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes''). ==''To the Shores of Lake Placid''== ''To the Shores of Lake Placid'' was released in 1982 and was compiled by Bill Drummond and Mick Houghton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zoo Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
