Do It Records was an independent record label in London. It was an early label of Adam and the Ants, releasing their debut album Dirk Wears White Sox in November 1979 (which in January 1980 was the first ever Number One on the UK Independent Albums Chart and in February 1981 became a UK Top 20 album) as well as singles Zerox in June 1979 and Cartrouble in March 1980, the latter being not only a Number One on the UK Independent Singles Chart but also the debut collaboration between Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni following the departure of the original Ants to form Bow Wow Wow.
The company was started in 1978 by Robin Scott, Max Tregoning and Ian Tregoning. Over the next six years, they released several recordings by M, Adam and the Ants, Anthony Moore and Yello. After closing in 1983, the rights to the label's entire back catalogue were bought out by CBS, Adam Ant's then-current label, to secure permanent control of the Ants' recording history with Do It. The back catalogue is now owned by Sony Music Entertainment who bought out CBS in 1987.
