Line Records was founded by Uwe Tessnow of Hamburg, who was a former executive of Teldec Records, which was originally a part of Telefunken and may have been a partnership between Telefunken of Germany and Decca Records of the UK. The brand Teldec and Decca are now owned by Warners.
Line is now defunct and the internet domain is for sale.
We would like to know if any other UK Sue releases appeared in Germany. Can anyone help, please?
