FFRR
RECORDS
Independent Diy label: FFRR (Full Frequency
Range Recordings) was launched in 1986 by the UK branch of London Records after
that company's efforts to be a diverse, Island Records-like pop label resulted
in a failure to signing up-and-coming dance artists who preferred the
specialization of competitors like Rhythm King and Island's 4th & Broadway
imprint. London employee
and radio DJ Pete Tong and Phil Howells as an assistant ran FFRR. Although
the company name FFRR Records Ltd. first appeared on releases in 1986, the
standard London logos were used until 1987. Such releases, even if they have an
old-style "ffrr" badge embedded in the London logos, should only be filed under
London Records. A new logo for the dance imprint first appeared on releases in
1987. It incorporated elements of the classic "ffrr" high fidelity marks that
had been part of the Decca and London branding since the 1940s, yet it is a
unique logo, with a key difference being that it normally appears by itself and
contains the words Full Frequency Range Recordings (not Recording, and not
American Recordings or British Recordings). FFRR-branded records were released in the US via PolyGram;
such releases can be filed under both FFRR and PolyGram. From 1990 on, the imprint was affiliated with
both FFRR Records Ltd. and London Records Ltd. Distributed By London
Records.
