Moers Music label discography

This is a discography of albums released on the Moers Music label.

Burkhard Hennen started Ring Records in Moers in Germany in the early 1970's. The company name was changed to Moers Music in 1977 due to the existence of another company called Ring Records. The Ring catalog was transferred to Moers Music. During the changeover period some releases had a mix of Ring/Moers Music covers and labels. Many of the early recordings on the two labels were live recordings from the Moers jazz festival.

There are a number of gaps in the catalog number sequence on this page. These represent albums I have failed to identify, catalog numbers that were not used by the company or a subtle catalog numbering system that I have failed to understand.

There are probably albums missing from the list.
