Yazoo (record label)

Yazoo was a British record label active in the early 1980s, best known for releasing the works of the synth-pop duo Yazoo (also known as Yaz in the US), featuring Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet. The label was responsible for popularizing electronic and synth-based music during that era, helping launch the careers of influential artists. Although the label primarily released Yazoo’s albums before disbanding in 1983, its influence extends through the legacy of its innovative sound and production. Yazoo's success under the label contributed significantly to the rise of electronic music in the mainstream.
