The original incarnation of FFRR was founded in 1986, and also had two subsidiaries: Double F Double R Records and Ffrreedom Records. The label's ear logo was copied from the original FFRR logo source. The label name was stylized as ffrr, rather than FFRR.

In 2011, Pete Tong and Warner revived FFRR, and put the label under the Parlophone umbrella when the latter acquired that label in 2013.

In 2017, Warner Music sold London Recordings post-1979 catalogue and with it FFRR 1986 catalogue to Because Music.

In 2019 the label was taken over by Andy Daniell.
