MOODISC
RECORDS

Independent label: Moodisc Records was Reggae label, which had several incarnations in the U.K. in the '70s.  Moodisc was a vehicle for Harry Mudie productions.  It started out as part of the Trojan group, issuing some fifteen singles in 1970-71, in a MU-3500 series.   Early singles were on a plain light green label; later ones (MU-3503 on) were on a more exuberant-looking orange label with red and white writing.  In the summer of 1971 this version of Moodisc closed down and was replaced briefly by another one, which numbered its singles in the HM-100s (later HME-000s). This version was run by Rita and Benny King, of R&B Discs.  Again, the label came in plain and more complex forms.  To complicate matters further, another Moodisc appeared in 1974-5 with a new mid-blue on white label; this time M & M Music was the firm responsible.  Catalogue numbers of its singles were generally in the HM-8200s, a Jamaican numerical series that was shared by the HAM and Jungle labels.  Moodisc was revived again in 1978 by Big Phil Records, of Mill Hill; in this form it put out at least one more 7", again using the Jamaican numbering.  Distributed By Moodisc Records.
