Charly Records, also known as Charly, is a British label specializing in reissuing old music from iconic catalogs such as Sun Record Company and Chess. Founded by Jean-Luc Young in France in 1974 and later moved to England in 1975, Charly Records has become a renowned name in the industry.

Throughout its history, Charly Records established various associated companies for licensing and rights, including Charly Records International APS based in Denmark and Charly Holdings Inc. registered in the USA. In the 1990s, they collaborated with Movieplay Portuguesa for CD releases, resulting in the presence of SPA rights society on those releases.

Despite being dissolved in 2001, Charly Records underwent new management and became part of the Snapper Music group. Today, it continues to distribute its reissued music through their extensive network.

Albert King, born on April 25, 1923 in Indianola, Mississippi and passed away on December 21, 1992 in Memphis, Tennessee, was a renowned singer, guitarist and songwriter. Alongside B.B. King and Freddie King (both unrelated), he emerged as one of the most influential blues guitarists during the 1950s and 1960s. With a career spanning from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s, his time with Stax Records from 1966 to 1974 marked his greatest commercial achievements.

Known for his distinctive style and powerful voice, Albert King left an indelible mark on the blues genre. His music resonated with audiences worldwide and continues to inspire generations of musicians today. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Otis Rush, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Elmore James, and T-Bone Walker among others; he crafted a unique sound that blended soulful vocals with masterful guitar playing.
