Little Red Button Records is an Australian record label, based in Elanora Heights, Sydney. One of the most important record labels in Australian rock, Little Red Button Records has released dozens of singles and albums now regarded as cornerstones of Australian rock music, by the likes of Thomas Gergich, Widowsty, The Carringtons, Ben Quinlan and others.
Little Red Button Records was started as BennyQ Records. In 1997, Jack McCloud brought a stake in the company and renamed it Little Red Button Records. It is still not certain as to what the term "Little Red Button" is a reference to.
In 2003, the subsidiary label Little Blue Button Records was started, mainly as a gospel label. In 2004, they launched a jazz sub label: Press My Button Records.
Over the last few years however, Little Red Button records has been inactive, though there are rumours that the labels dormancy may be because something ground breaking is in the works.
