Sleeping Bag Records is a defunct New York City-based hip hop, freestyle, and dance music independent record label that operated from 1981 to 1992. The label's roster included Mantronix, Just-Ice, Nice & Smooth, T La Rock, EPMD and Stezo; freestyle vocalists Nocera and Kariya; and R&B singer-songwriter Joyce Sims.

Founders

Sleeping Bag Records was founded by avant-garde cellist, composer, and underground disco artist Arthur Russell and William "Will" Socolov. In 1983, Juggy Gayles began promoting singles for the company. Later, he became a partner. The label's corporate logo was a drawing of a koala.

Sub-label Fresh Records was founded in 1985.^[1]

Re-releases

After folding in 1992, the Sleeping Bag catalog sat in limbo for several years. In 1996, the label and its catalog were purchased by Warlock Records, which has since been re-releasing its titles with the Sleeping Bag and Fresh logos alongside the Warlock Records logo. The building in Manhattan where the label had its headquarters was torn down in the 1990s, and a luxury apartment building now stands in its place.

In 2006, the label became one of many imprints’ catalogs that became Traffic Entertainment Group, which has been releasing new versions of the classic albums in Sleeping Bag’s catalog with their original artwork intact.
