Sleeping Bag Records

Profile:Eclectic but mainly dance music label (1981–1992) founded by cellist, visionary composer, and underground disco artist Arthur Russell (1951-1992) and William Socolov, and Juggy Gales. Sub-label Fresh Records was founded in 1984. Kurtis Mantronik did A&R for the label as well.

After closing its doors in 1992, the catalog sat in limbo for several years. In 1996, the label and its catalog were puchased by Warlock Records, which has been rereleasing its titles with the Sleeping Bag and Fresh logos alongside the Warlock Records logo ever since. The building where the label had its headquarters was torn down in the 1990s, and a luxury apartment building stands in its place.
