HÖRZU is a German weekly
television listings magazine published by Axel Springer. The
magazine first appeared in 1946 as the first radio program
magazine to be produced in what was then the British zone of
occupation. Over the years Hörzu has shifted the emphasis of
its coverage from radio to television programs. The first edition of the magazine appeared on 11 December 1946 as HÖR ZU! Die Rundfunkzeitung ("LISTEN! The radio newspaper") as it was originally entitled. There were three editions in the first year of publication, 48 in 1947, and since then the magazine has appeared 52 or 53 times annually. Circulation of the magazine increased rapidly. 1949 saw the first appearance of Mecki, Hörzu's cartoon hedgehog mascot. In the 1960s Hörzu produced and released records as a subsidiary of Electrola, Cologne. Since 1965, the Hörzu has awarded the annual Golden Camera television prize. (from Wikipedia) |

COMMENTS
|
"Die Beatles" was
released at 6th. Feb 1964 as second LP from the Beatles
after "With The Beatles". Hörzu label is for the domestic release. Original Hörzu labels were red with a white rectangular logo. 1st. press: "BIEM" and "GEMA" were printed in the box. Matrix number: HZE 117-A-1 HZE 117-B-1 Since stereo was the norm in Germany by 1964, all mono LP's can be considered difficult to find. HÖRZU: A TV magazine (owned by the Springer Group of Companies) got rights from the major German record companies to advertise (in their magazine) and sell selected product through their mail-order department to make it easier for people to buy product as in those days a lot more people lived outside / a far distance away from the bigger cities with their record shops.

* BIEM (Bureau International des Societes Gerant les Droits d'Enregistrement et de Reproduction Mecanique) handles the copyrights for 52 different countries. ** GEMA (Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte.) was started in 1915 and handles the copyright in Germany. |
