Necessary Records is a record label based in the UK, founded by Warren Clarke, a former A&R executive at London Records and Edel, in 2003.[1] Clarke describes that the label was born out of a creative necessity. "It's an outlet for records that should and must be heard. An outlet for artists that deserve to and will, touch the widest possible audience."[2]
It is most notable for being the record label of English indie rock band Hard-Fi[3][4]
The label was responsible for the release of Hard Fi's debut album, Stars of CCTV,[5][6] before the label secured a two album worldwide licensing deal with Atlantic,[7] which saw the album re-released in the UK and subsequently nominated for a Mercury Prize and two Brit Awards.[6][8] The album also peaked at #1 in the UK albums chart in January 2006, reaching sales of 1.2 million copies worldwide,[6][9] with over 830,000 in the UK alone.[10] The band's second album, Once Upon a Time in the West, released by Necessary/Atlantic, also reached #1 on the UK album charts.[10] The band's third album, Killer Sounds, released by Necessary/Atlantic went to #9 on the UK album charts.[11]
Necessary also have a publishing[12] and management company.
