MOOD Records

German label.

Label Code: LC 5453 / LC 05453

Co-founded in 1977 by Volker Kriegel, Wolfgang Dauner, Albert Mangelsdorff, and Ack Van Rooyen with the support of TV producer Werner Schretzmeier and Tonstudio Zuckerfabrik to promote and distribute the emerging sound of jazz-rock. Their debut release Live Im Schützenhaus became the highest-selling German jazz record of all time with 100,000 copies sold. Initially promoted and distributed solely by the trendy "Zweitausendeins" chain of book and record mailorder stores through their 1.2 million catalogue subscribers, the Mood Records label quickly became an acclaimed brand for experimental sounds and quality musicianship.

Operations of the label/company have ceased, and the company was removed from the commercial register on 09 May 2016.
