UK Records

UK Records was a music label launched in 1972 by Jonathan King to distribute his own releases and those by some other artists. The abbreviation UK stands for "United King". The label was distributed at first by Decca Records and, after 1976, by PolyGram (which later bought out Decca in 1980). King closed the label in the late 1970s, but he retained ownership and regularly re-issued much of its catalogue, especially on compilations of hits.
