West End Records is a classic disco label that played a significant role in shaping the dance music scene of New York City during the late 70s and early 80s. Founded in December 1976 by Mel Cheren and Ed Kushins, this legendary label not only dominated NYC dance floors but also influenced DJs and dancers worldwide. Working closely with West End Records, the renowned Paradise Garage DJ Larry Levan helped create their distinctive sound.

The ownership history of West End Records is as follows: from 1976 to 1990 it was owned by [l289947], followed by [l763154] from 1990 to 1998. From there, ownership shifted to [l315625] between 1998 and 2010 before becoming a division of [l762979], which lasted until 2015 when it became part of [l=BMG Rights Management].

As part of their Digitally Remastered Classic Series, West End Records offers an impressive collection of *12" Singles* under the WES5000 Matrix. The label's design draws inspiration from other notable record labels such as
