Pickwick Records was a budget-label specialising in compilations, licensing deals, and reissues, notable for the Top of the Pops cover‑version albums released on their Hallmark label. The series ran from June 1968 to March 1985, making it the longest‑running UK budget cover version series. Pickwick became a dominant force in the budget record market and was at one point the official budget reissue outlet for labels like RCA and CBS.
