- Charisma Records was a record label founded by former journalist Tony Stratton-Smith in 1969. Tony Stratton-Smith was at that time a manager for The Nice, the Bonzo Dog Band and Van der Graaf Generator. He was unable to find a record company that would release an album by one of his favourite groups. So Mr. Stratton-Smith founded his own company and released the Van der Graaf album The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other himself. Charisma was initially distributed in England as an off-shoot of B&C Records, but it later absorbed that label. During the mid and late 1970s Charisma's European distribution was handled by Phonogram Records. Charisma's first record label was a distinctive pink "scroll" design. The company proudly proclaimed itself "The Famous Charisma Label", a phrase actually which caused some to conclude the company's name was "Famous Charisma. " Its logo (used from the 1970s) of Sir John Tenniel's drawing of the Mad Hatter (sometimes combined with a montage of other images from Alice in Wonderland) made the label instantly recognisable. Charisma was one of the most influential record companies of the 1970s. Its most successful acts were Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Julian Lennon and the Monty Python comedy team. It also released material by Lindisfarne and Alan Hull, Hawkwind, The Alan Parsons Project, Clifford T. Ward, String Driven Thing, Jack The Lad, Audience, Vivian Stanshall, the Scars, Brand X, Sir John Betjeman and Malcolm McLaren. 1970s solo albums of Peter Hammill, Tony Banks and Steve Hackett were also on Charisma Records. In the United States and Canada, Charisma Records recordings were first licenced to other labels such as ABC Records (Trespass by Genesis which was actually first issued through ABC's jazz division Impulse Records. ) The ABC subsidiary Probe Records released The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other by Van der Graaf Generator, while the Dunhill Records subsidiary released H to He, Who Am the Only One by the same group. Elektra Records in the US released recordings by Charisma Records artists Atomic Rooster, Audience and Lindisfarne. In 1971 Charisma entered into a distribution agreement with Buddah Records and began to release albums on the Charisma Records label in the US. These albums included Pawn Hearts by Van der Graaf Generator and Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Genesis Live by Genesis. Atlantic Records also later released Charisma recordings in the United States from 1973 to 1974 including many Genesis titles. In 1973, Atlantic stopped distributing Charisma in America; as a result, in the US Charisma's bands signed to various labels such as Mercury Records and Arista Records. In 1978, Charisma signed a new distribution deal with Polydor that lasted until 1980. In Canada, many Charisma releases were distributed by PolyGram Canada. In 1983, Charisma Records were acquired by Virgin Records. Following the acquisition Charisma continued to operate until 1986, when Virgin absorbed the label following its purchase by EMI. A new version of Charisma, with no connection to the original label other than the name, operated between 1990 and 1992. Some Charisma Records recordings have most recently been re-issued on the EMI label. In the UK, the label has been revived by EMI's Angel Music Group.

Het label verzorgde ook wel concerten van hun eigen artiesten. Je kon dus op één avond zowel Genesis als Lindisfarne zien. Ze hadden een zeer kleine stal van artiesten en hebben mede daardoor het punktijdperk niet overleefd. Het label werd in het cd-tijdperk opgeslokt door Virgin Records.

Han kunne ikke finne noen plateselskaper som ville gi disse bandene platekontrakt, så han startet sitt eget plateselskap og ga ut Van der Graaf Generator-albumet The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other på egenhånd. Charisma Records ble distribuert av Phonogram Records i Europa og av Buddah Records i USA fra 1971. Før 1971 hadde Charisma benyttet flere forskjellige distributører i USA, som for eksempel ABC Records, Dunhill Records, Impulse Records og Elektra Records. I tillegg sto Atlantic Records for flere USA-utgivelser for Charisma i årene fra 1973 til 1992. I 1983 ble Charisma Records kjøpt opp av Virgin Records, men fortsatte å operere aktivt frem til 1992 da Virgin kjøpte opp EMI og la Charismas virksomhet inn under hovedselskapet Virgin. Enkelte ny-utgivelser som opprinnelig ble utgitt på Charisma, er i den senere tiden blitt utgitt på EMI. Charisma Records har nå gjenoppstått via EMIs Angel Music Group.
