Jet Records was a British record label started by Don Arden in 1974, featuring musicians such as Lynsey de Paul, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), Roy Wood, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Alan Price, Adrian Gurvitz, Riot, Magnum and Trickster.

The first release on the Jet Records label was the single "No, Honestly" which was a UK top 10 for its singer and writer Lynsey de Paul in November 1974.

De Paul wrote the second single on the Jet label, a song called "My One and Only" recorded by the British female vocal group 'Bones'.

David Carradine's solo album Grasshopper had the collaboration of ELO's cellist Hugh McDowell and violinist Mik Kaminski.

The Jet label was first used in the US for Jeff Lynne's solo single "Doin' That Crazy Thing" in the summer of 1977 and subsequently for the ELO album Out of the Blue.

This changed after American copies of Out of the Blue that were deemed defective, began appearing at discounted prices in record shops in the US and Canada affecting the album's sales.

Jet sued UA and abruptly switched their distribution to CBS Records worldwide early in 1978.

The third album that Lynsey de Paul recorded for Jet in 1976 Take Your Time also but was never released finally appeared on CD in Japan with the title Before You Go Tonight on the Vivid Sound Corporation label in 1990.
