REXETTE



A small label, from Liverpool.  Rexette was owned by Roger Earle, who was also responsible for Eric's Records (q.v.).  A single by Moondog, 'Heads I Win' (LT-002; 1979) appears to have been its only release - I have yet to confirm the existence on an LT-001.  The band hadn't got anything to do with the Irish group 'The Moondogs' who recorded for Real Records.  The label design featured a dog in a space helmet looking down at a 'Dansette' type gramophone; a sort of His Master's Voice for the space age.  The word 'Rexette' only appears in small print on the front of the gramophone, which probably explains why the label also gets referred to as 'Moondog'.  The majority, however, go for 'Rexette', so I'll go with the flow.
