UK Records was launched in 1972 by Jonathan King to distribute his own releases and some other artists. The abbreviation UK stands for "United King". The label was a subsidiary of London Records.
Besides King himself, UK also released records by artists like Lobo, 10cc, The First Class, Kevin Johnson, and Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs, an alias for Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts, whose original pianist Jona Lewie later had success as a solo artist. King got bored and closed the label, but retained ownership and regularly re-issued its catalogue.
