FULL MOON (1)

  

American, out of Los Angeles.  This Full Moon label was owned by Irving Azoff.  It started life in 1974 in the USA, and to begin with was mainly a vehicle for records by Dan Fogelberg.   Initially linked to Epic Records, it moved to the Warner group c.1980 and looks to have disappeared in the early 1990s.  As far as Britain is concerned, Full Moon seems to have come on the scene rather late, c.1977.  It didn't issue many singles in the '70s (see below) and it only really got into its stride in the '80s, when it hit the Charts with three singles by Chicago and one each by Dan Fogelberg and Peter Cetera.  1970s singles shared an EPC-0000 series with those of Epic.  The first two singles had a rather hard-to-read label (1); swapping the position of the label name and the artist / title credits made legibility easier for the rest (2).  As can be seen, promos had a medium-sized black 'A' in the middle of the label, and had the release date on them.
