Zoo Records was a British independent record label formed by Bill Drummond and David Balfe in 1978. Zoo was launched in order 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. Zoo Records went on to release early work from The Teardrop Explodes and Echo & the Bunnymen.

- Zoo Records was a British independent record label formed by Bill Drummond and David Balfe in 1978. Zoo was launched in order 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. 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, which was re-released in 1995 with extra tracks and called The Zoo Uncaged 1978-1982. Intriguingly, 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).
- Banda de New Wave formada en Liverpool a finales de la década de los setenta. La banda contenía a la cantante Lori Larty (voz), Bill Drummond (guitarra; anteriormente de Big In Japan) y David Balfe. Drummond y Balfe habían separado Big In Japan y fundado el sello Zoo, donde se grababan canciones para bandas locales como The Teardrop Explodes y Echo & The Bunnymen. Los estilos musicales de la banda eran de tendencia Post-punk, indie y synthpop. Sólo sacaron dos sencillos y había sido una banda de estudio y temporal pero con la que Drummond y Balfe querían demostrar su creatividad en la música. Larty se fue a una escuela de arte, mientras que Drummond y Balfe se fueron a trabajar con Teardrop Explodes como manager y tecladista, respectivamente.
