DJM Records was the record label of Dick James. DJM is an acronym for Dick James Music. Elton John was very prominent on DJM before he switched in 1973 to his own Rocket Records. Frank Neilson was A&R Manager from 1976 to 1979, before he moved to Polydor Records.

Other acts on the label in the seventies included Mr Bloe, who included pianist Zak Lawrence, harmonica player Harry Pitch, Former Fleetwood Mac member Danny Kirwan who recorded three albums for DJM "Second Chapter" (1975) "Midnight in San Juan" (1976) and "Hello There Big Boy" (1979) and various session musicians who had worked with Elton John, The Tremeloes and singer-turned-actor Dennis Waterman.

After Dick James' death in 1986, the DJM catalogue was acquired by Polygram.
