Fontana

Profile:

The Fontana label was launched by Epic outside of the US, later it expanded to other US labels.
In September 1964, PPI's US , Mercury Record Corporation, introduced the label in the US for international recordings, although it eventually became a mainstream pop label.
In 2013, Fontana's independent circuit was sold off to INgrooves, leaving Fontana Records separate.

The 7 digits numerical catalogue numbers were introduced in April 1970. Any item with such a number is after that date.

Printing dates on French EPs of the late 50s/60s appear as "MY" or "MMY" (e.g. "81" = August 1961 ; "118" = November 1958).

    I have memories of a Fontana 12", probably by Kruder and Dorfmeister, or a remix of sorts. The Fontana logo was very messily designed, yet typically recognizable. It was scribbled with a black pen on a white background.

    Does this ring a bell with someone?
