You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''DJM Records''' (also known as '''Dick James Music''') was a British [[independent record label]], set up in the late 1960s by British music publisher [[Dick James]].  It was distributed by [[Pye Records]] in the UK, and various other companies around the world, including the US.

The first release on the label was by Dave Sealey and entitled "It Takes a Thief", which had been adapted from the theme music from [[It Takes a Thief (1968 TV series)|the television series]] for which a lyric was written.  Frank Neilson was [[A&R]] manager from 1976 to 1979, before he moved to [[Polydor Records]]. Andy Stinton was Promotions Manager for several years before moving to Canada in 1980 to start his own communications company.

[[Elton John]] was prominent on DJM,<ref>((cite magazine|last=Stark|first=David|date=4 October 1997|title=The Manager|magazine=Billboard|pages=EJ–40|issn=0006-2510|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1wkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA14-IA1|access-date=3 July 2012))</ref> except in the United States and Canada where his records were issued on the [[MCA Records]] label. In 1976, he began his own label, [[The Rocket Record Company]].<ref name="LarkinGE">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-939-0|page=706/7))</ref> He brought a lawsuit against DJM in the 1980s over the rights to his earlier (pre-1976) work.((Citation needed|date=November 2011))

Other acts on the label in the 1970s included Hector; Ireland's [[Celtic rock]]ers [[Horslips]]; [[John Inman]], [[Mr. Bloe]], who included pianist ((No redirect|Zack Laurence)) and harmonica player [[Harry Pitch]]; former [[Fleetwood Mac]] member [[Danny Kirwan]], who recorded three albums for DJM, ''[[Second Chapter]]'' (1975), ''[[Midnight in San Juan (Danny Kirwan album)|Midnight in San Juan]]'' (1976), and ''[[Hello There Big Boy!]]'' (1979); [[The Tremeloes]], after their departure from [[Columbia Records|CBS]]/[[Epic Records|Epic]] in 1974; singer and actor [[Dennis Waterman]]; and [[Johnny "Guitar" Watson]], who had several successful singles and albums in the US.

[[Roger Hodgson]] – prior to joining [[Supertramp]] – issued a UK single on DJM under the name "Argosy".  This record was also released on Congress Records (a division of [[Kapp Records]]) in the US.

DJM had a daughter label called "Weekend Records" for releases relating to the ITV contractor [[London Weekend Television]] such as T.V. themes and some releases appeared both on the DJM and "Weekend Records" labels.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/label/132029-Weekend-Records-4 |title=Weekend Records (4) – CDs and Vinyl |website=Discogs.com |date=26 August 2013 |access-date=26 April 2017))</ref> Notable releases include "[[Hi Summer]]" by [[Carl Wayne]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Carl-Wayne-Hi-Summer/master/490689 |title=Carl Wayne – Hi Summer |website=Discogs.com |date=12 December 1977 |access-date=26 April 2017))</ref>

After Dick James' death in 1986, the DJM catalogue was acquired by [[PolyGram]]. Today, the catalogue is now owned by Polygram's successor-in-interest [[Universal Music Group]].
