DJM RECORDS
DJM Records (also known as Dick James Music) was the British independent record label, set up in the late 1960s by British music publisher Dick James. It was distributed by Pye Records in the UK, and various other companies around the world, including the US. Elton John was prominent on DJM, except in the US and Canada where he was signed to MCA Records. He switched in 1976 to his own label, The Rocket Record Company. (More from Wikipedia)
The bandmembers in Hookfoot met while working as house musicians at DJM Records, which had also signed Elton John in the same time period. Caleb Quaye and Roger Pope were part of the backing band for Elton John on his debut album, Empty Sky (1969); and everyone in Hookfoot was on hand for his third album, Tumbleweed Junction (1970). In 1972, Hookfoot released an album called Good Times A’ Comin’ on DJM Records (A&M Records in the States).
