Fontana began in the 1950s as a subsidiary of the Dutch Philips Records; when Philips restructured its music operations, it dropped Fontana in favour of Vertigo Records. Fontana's U.S. counterpart label was started in 1964 and distributed by Philips US subsidiary Mercury Records. The initial single release (F 1501) was an instrumental track by British session drummer Bobby Graham, both sides featuring Jimmy Page on guitar. Among the hitmakers were Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders (later on their own simply as The Mindbenders), The Troggs, The New Vaudeville Band, Manfred Mann, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, and Steam. In 2009, the label released Brooke Hogan's album. The label was revived in 2025 as part of a restructuring of Universal Music UK's labels. It serves as the UK home for Universal Music's affiliated jazz labels: Blue Note, Verve Records, and Impulse!. The label's roster also includes pop artists who moved from Decca during the same restructuring.
