WIN Records (or Waldo International Network) is a Los Angeles, California based record label. It was independently owned and operated by Devin Sarno and Tom Grimley. The company was formed in 1989 as an avenue to release records by their band Waldo The Dog Faced Boy (the first release being Waldo's "Gifts Of Finest Wheat" LP.) Roughly around 1993, it was decided to expand operations and offer up the label's services to other like minded bands — the first guinea pigs being Dogstar (later to become Charles Brown Superstar) with their self-titled 7". The label has always striven to maintain a musical "collective" with its roster. (If you check liner notes closely, you'll often find WIN artists collaborating on each others recordings.) In addition, bands are always given complete creative control - so what you see and hear is undiluted.
