Slash Records

Slash Records is a record label in Los Angeles, originally specializing in local and punk rock bands.

The label was formed in 1978 by Bob Biggs who initiated the label with a seven-inch single from The Germs. Until 1981, the label was distributed through Jem; when that company went bankrupt, Slash entered into a distribution deal with Warner Bros.

The label was sold to London Records in 1986. From 1982 until 1996, releases from Slash Records were distributed in the United States by Warner Bros. Records, and elsewhere by Mercury Records.

In 2000, Universal Music Group closed Slash as an active label. In 2003, the label was relicensed back to Bob Biggs.
