- Pye Records is a British record label. In its first incarnation, Pye's best known artists were Lonnie Donegan (1956-69), Petula Clark (1957-71), The Searchers (1963-67), The Kinks (1964-71), and Brotherhood of Man (1975-79). The label changed its name in 1980 but was briefly reactivated in 2006. The Pye Company originally sold televisions and radios. It entered the record business when it bought Nixa Records in 1953. In 1955, the company acquired Polygon Records, a label that had been established by Petula Clark's father to control distribution of her recordings, and merged it with Nixa Records to form Pye Nixa Records. In 1959, the name was changed to Pye Records and ATV acquired 50% of the label. ATV bought the other half of the business in 1966. Two subsidiaries were created during the sixties, Pye Golden Guinea Records (for cut-price albums) and Piccadilly Records (for new pop acts). In 1970, it launched a less mainstream label for folk, jazz, blues and progressive acts, Dawn Records, the most successful Dawn act being Mungo Jerry. When the rights to the name Pye expired in 1980, the label changed its name to PRT, which stood for Precision Records and Tapes. Its back catalogue was later acquired by Castle Communications. In 1958, Pye International Records was started. The company licensed recordings from American and other foreign labels in the UK including Chess Records, A&M Records, Kama Sutra Records, Colpix Records, Buddah Records, 20th Century Records, and King Records. It also released recordings from British artist Labi Siffre which were produced outside the company. The company entered the budget-priced record market in the 1960s, with first Golden Guinea and then Marble Arch reissuing older Pye material. In July 2006, it was announced that Scottish alternative rock group Idlewild would sign to Pye Records, which was being reactivated by the music group Sanctuary for bands that were seen to be more indie and alternative than the 'heritage acts' that were signed to their main label. However, plans for continued usage of the Pye name were scuttled when Universal Music Group purchased Sanctuary in 2007.

Selskapet byttet navn i 1980 men tok navnet tilbake i 2006. The Pye Company solgte opprinnelig TV- og radioapparater. Selskapet kjøpte opp Nixa Records i 1953 og havnet dermed i platebransjen. I 1955 kjøpte selskapet opp Polygon Records, et selskap som hadde Petula Clarks far i kontroll over distribusjonen av hennes plater. Dermed oppsto Pye Nixa Records. I 1959 ble navnet endret til Pye Records, og ATV eide 50% av selskapet. ATV kjøpte opp de resterende aksjene i 1966. To underavdelinger oppsto, Pye Golden Guinea Records og Piccadilly Records. I 1970 lanserte Pye folk, jazz, blues og progressive artister på Dawn Records, og den mest kjente artisten der var Mungo Jerry. Da navnerettighetene opphørte i 1980, endret selskapet navn til PRT Records. Katalogen havnet da i eie hos Castle Communications. I 1958 ble Pye International Records startet. Selskapet distribuerte mange amerikanske etiketter, inkludert Chess Records, A&M Records, Kama Sutra Records, Colpix Records, Buddah Records, og King Records i UK. I 1960 lanserte Pye sin lavbudsjett-etikett Marble Arch som relanserte en rekke tidligere Pye-utgivelser. I juli 2006 ble Pye reaktivert av Sanctuary for å utgi «indie» pop og «alternative» artister.
