Slash Records
Slash started as a magazine in 1977, founded by Bob Biggs. It was one of the first magazines devoted to the punk scene, its first cover featuring Dave Vanian of The Damned. Based in Los Angeles, Slash contributed greatly to the promotion of the music scene there and, with its wide distribution, brought the L.A. scene to attention outside the city. In 1978 he started Slash Records. The magazine stopped in 1980. A subsidiary Ruby Records was started in 1981. The label was sold to London Records in 1986.
From 1982 until 1996, releases from Slash Records were distributed by Warner Bros. Records.
