Track Records) was founded in 1966 in London by Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, then managers of the rock group The Who.

The most successful artists whose work appeared on the Track label were The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Who, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Thunderclap Newman and Golden Earring.

In 1966, they were involved in a court battle to release The Who from an onerous contract with producer Shel Talmy and the Decca Records (US) and Brunswick (UK) labels.

Both Track and Reaction were very much reliant upon distribution support in the United Kingdom from the large Polydor Records label based in Germany.

By late 1967, Track faced a lawsuit from Ed Chalpin and his company PPX Enterprises, based in New York City.

Chalpin viewed the 1966 Hendrix agreement with Track as a violation of his PPX contract and was later able to claim a large monetary settlement.

British folk-rock band Fairport Convention issued their first single "If I Had a Ribbon Bow, on Track, on 23 February 1968, having recorded it at Sound Techniques, London, the previous August.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown had a 1968 UK #1 hit with "Fire" which was co-produced by the Who's Pete Townshend and Kit Lambert.

Also in late 1968, Track released Jimi Hendrix's double album Electric Ladyland, one of his most successful recordings.

These were budget priced re-issues and new compilations of earlier Track recordings, occasionally containing previously unreleased material and rare versions.

Track also distributed the Apple Records release by John Lennon and Yoko Ono titled Two Virgins in the United Kingdom.

Original stereo copies of this album from 1968 had a Track Records logo and matrix number (613 012) on the label.

These were added to the artwork after EMI (Apple's distributor) refused to handle the record because of its controversial nude cover photo.

In late 1970, the group Thunderclap Newman released their only album, Hollywood Dream on Track (through Atlantic in the United States).

In a move initiated by Roger Daltrey, the band attempted to collect a large sum of unpaid royalties from Track.

He released recordings by Joe Brown, Hugh Cornwell, Big Country, Phil Mogg's $ign Of 4, Noel Redding, Dennis Locorriere, Deborah Bonham and again the Crazy World of Arthur Brown (Vampire Suite album[3]) and Thunderclap Newman (Beyond Hollywood) among others.
