Slash actually started as a magazine in 1977. But the record label that publisher Bob Biggs opened the next year long outlasted the magazine, which folded in 1980. Slash started as an independent label in Los Angeles, mostly featuring new wave/punk rock bands. Typically, the chip-on-the-shoulder attitude came through with the slogan, "Small enough to know the score, Big enough to settle it." Slash was distributed by Warner Brothers starting in 1982 until 1996, when the label name was sold to London Records.

Slash labels prior to Warner Brothers distribution were a solid color, blue or silver, with black print and the early Slash logo at the top. Later, labels were tan or white.
