Lakeshore Records is the independent music division of Lakeshore Entertainment. They started out as WILL Records. Will Records was started 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 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).[10] In October 2019, Lakeshore sold its library and international operation to Vine Alternative Investments for roughly $200 million.[11]
