The UK ("United King") record label was founded in 1972 by Jonathan King in England. It issued
records from 1972 to about 1976. A US-based counterpart was established that was distributed by
London Records. Jonathan King used the label for reissue purposes from time to time over the years
since the label went inactive.
The UK label in the United States (far left) was light blue with silver print, as was the UK label in the UK for the most part. Later UK labels used in the United Kingdom (near left) were light blue with indigo print. Both had the label name at the bottom and the logo of the main British Isle with a crown in the lower right quadrant. |
