Lakeshore Records was the independent music division of Lakeshore Entertainment. They had begun as Will Records, which was founded by Skip Williamson in the early 1990s.[9] 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.[9] In 2011, it signed a home video deal with Image Entertainment.[10] In February 2020, it was announced that Lakeshore Records had been sold to Cutting Edge Group.[11]

In March 2019, Lakeshore placed its film library up for sale. The library includes 300 titles, such as the New World Pictures library (which Lakeshore acquired in 1996).[12] In October 2019, Lakeshore sold its library and international operation to Vine Alternative Investments for roughly $200 million.[13] The company was renamed to Lakeshore Village Entertainment, LLC in 2021, a subsidiary of Village Roadshow Entertainment Group distributing content owned by Vine Alternative Investments.[14][15]
