Switchflicker Records is an independent British record label based in Manchester, England. The company was established in 2000 by Jayne Compton
Performers signed to the label include Divine David, Chloe Poems and formerly The Ting Tings, who launched their career at the label.
In 2008, members of The Ting Tings wrote critical comments on their blog about what they believe to be inflated prices charged by the label for their single, That's Not My Name, asserting that the company was "cashing in" on the band's success at the expense of their fans. The label responded in a published statement, noting that they were doing nothing wrong as they owned the stock and were selling remaining copies in line with the record's value at the time:
"Switchflicker Records supported The Ting Tings in the early stages of their career and released 1,000 copies of their debut single ('That's Not My Name'/'Great DJ') in June of last year," . "Switchflicker has the invoice, order form and credit card receipt to prove that the label paid for these and not The Ting Tings. These seven-inch vinyl copies were sold at £2 each. "Switchflicker is selling the remaining stock (which the label owns) at today’s market price. People have already sold unsigned copies for £50 on eBay."
Following this dispute, The Ting Tings signed with Columbia Records, having received assurances from Columbia that they would retain sufficient artistic control over their music.
