ZTT Records
Record-label identity evidenced through Universal Music Group’s account of the ZTT catalogue and its artists, including Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
ZTT Records
ZTT Records is a British record label whose catalogue joins studio-led pop production to a highly authored visual and textual identity. Its releases by artists including Frankie Goes to Hollywood were presented through an unusually integrated system of recording, sleeve design, video, publicity and catalogue numbering. Universal Music Group identifies ZTT among the catalogues acquired from Trevor Horn’s SPZ Group and names Frankie Goes to Hollywood as a central artist. Within The Material Record, ZTT provides organisational context for objects in which music, magazine publishing and 1980s design culture converge.

Why it matters
ZTT Records is retained as an organisation relationship because the December 1984 The Face accession concerns Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Paul Rutherford, while an authoritative catalogue source verifies the group’s ZTT association.
Coverage
This profile is deliberately limited to the catalogue identity and artist association supported by the cited Universal Music Group source; no unsupported founding history, personnel or corporate relationships are inferred.
