Zoo Entertainment

:"This article is about the American record label, for the British independent label, see Zoo Records."Zoo Entertainment was an American record label, and a subsidiary of BMG. The label was formed in the early 1990s by industry icon Lou Maglia (former president of Island Records), but is now defunct. The record label also distributed Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records for a short time. Being its distributor, the late Phyllis Hyman enjoyed a #1 R&B hit with "Don't Wanna Change The World" Maglia was joined by former BMG executive Kevin Czinger, who co-ran Zoo Records and its successor company Volcano Entertainment. When funding ran out, Volcano's owners sold the company to Zomba Records, which in turn entered into a joint venture with Bernstein & Mensch, the rock management company. Zoo is best known for releasing three platinum Tool albums, as well as gold records by Green Jelly and Matthew Sweet.
