Super Records Ltd. is a British independent record label, owned and operated by the English band McFly.
Formation
McFly's debut album was released on Island Records in 2004. Room on the 3rd Floor went to number one, making them the youngest UK group to do so since The Beatles.
However, after an issue involving creative differences, McFly parted ways with Island Records and set up their own label, Super Records Ltd. McFly insist the parting from Universal was amicable but that they wanted to be in complete creative control.{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/3am/2008/05/17/we-re-gonna-mcfly-solo-lads-tell-record-label-115875-20420212/ |title=We're gonna McFly solo lads tell record label |publisher=mirror.co.uk |date=17 May 2008 |accessdate=16 March 2011}}
Distribution
Everything that Super Records Ltd. produced before 2010 was distributed by other major labels in different countries. This was before McFly re-signing with Universal Island Records as part of a 50/50 deal, therefore making Universal worldwide distributors of Super Records releases.
