unreferenced date April 2008 UK Records was launched in 1972 by Jonathan King to distribute his own releases and some other artists. The abbreviation UK stands for United King . The label was distributed at first by Decca Records and, after 1976, by PolyGram which bought out Decca in 1980 . It was one of the most successful labels in the United Kingdom for several years, having three singles in the top 5 on several occasions. But apart from 10cc and the King produced Original London Stage Soundtrack of The Rocky Horror Show , album success eluded them. Besides King himself, UK also released records by artists such as Lobo musician Lobo , 10cc , The First Class , Kevin Johnson singer Kevin Johnson , and Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs . King closed the label in the late 1970s, but he retained ownership and regularly re issued much of its catalogue. A new record label by the name of UK Records started in 2010 by UK based producer Charlie James Perry Charlie P , centres on releasing original uk hip hop, urban, drum and bass, dubstep and alternative rock music.

The houses at Pik Uk New Village are older than the ones on the Lower. There is a 20 space parking lot roughly in between the New and Lower villages. There is also a rest area beside the parking lot with a roof on top, and a bulletin board beside the parking lot posting immediate news and information. The parking lot is connected by a road to Clear Water Bay Road, and a road that leads to the Lower village. Although home ownership is allowed in the village, the village is regulated by the government in the same manner as the public building estates nearer the downtown core e.g. Choi Hung Estate , in which the building estates are only for rent. There are occasionally police that patrol the village. Around the mid 1980 s both the New and the Lower villages are one whole village according to mailing codes. But as time went, the New and Lower villages gradually separated and the mailing codes are now different.
