Vinyl Records

German jazz-oriented label from Berlin, later known as View. Apparently they had to change name as TELDEC also had a label called Vinyl. Some Vinyl releases were repressed as View Records releases, sometimes still in the old Vinyl logo'd sleeves. Initially the 0 series was for European/Continental acts, and the 1 series was for British acts (although this division was later abandoned). Label boss Manfred Schiek, at the same address, later established the labels Dossier (new-wave), Ear Rational (post-jazz), Konnex Records (new-jazz) and Atonal (modern, electronic).
