EastWest

Label owned by Warner Music Group. Label Code: LC 1557 / LC 01557 The label was initially launched in 1957 by Atlantic Recording Corporation. After releasing a number of singles and albums, the label seemingly disappeared towards the end of 1958. In 1990 the label was reintroduced. Cat# guidelines: Only EW cat#s up to EW299 are unique, except EW231. Usually there is a T or CD at the end. EW cat#s with a number larger than 300, and also EW231, are price codes, since they appear on several releases. In this case, please look for another cat# on the record. The catalog numbers including ‘SAM’, stand for ‘Sampler’ or ‘Promotional Copies’, as generally heard by the label. Employees included Spencer Baldwin as A&R man in the mid 1990s.
