Lakeshore Records is a soundtrack record label, originally founded as the independent music division of Lakeshore Entertainment. They had begun as Will Records, which was founded by Skip Williamson in the early 1990s.[11]

As Will Records they released albums by artists such as Grandaddy (starting with their debut A Pretty Mess by This One Band). In 2000, Will Records acquired the catalogue of recently closed Loosegroove Records (a catalogue that included the debut full-length album by Queens of the Stone Age).

Will Records and Lakeshore Entertainment partnered to form Lakeshore Records.[11] In 2011, it signed a home video deal with Image Entertainment.[12]

In February 2020, it was announced that Lakeshore Records had been sold to Cutting Edge Group.[13]
