Label history

The UK records were distributed by Decca Records, their manager was king for many years. Apart from him, self-published many successful bands and singers of the mid - 1970s plates in UK: 10cc, First Class, Lobo, Kevin Johnson, Kursaal Flyers or Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs, whose keyboardist Jona Lewie became successful as a solo artist later. King brought to the UK but also re-releases of, for example, Roy C or Ike & Tina Turner out. Da King produced the " The Rocky Horror Show" in 1974 LPs to the show ( original cast and London Cast ) and the first single - version of Tim Curry's "Sweet Transvestite " came to UK Records on the market.

After several years, King was the record company tired and did not yield any more plates on the label out. But he retained the rights to all publications and has more or less re-released the old recordings regularly over the years.
