Scratch Records

About Me

Scratch is an independent company founded in 1987, based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Initially a tiny retail specialty record store, Scratch expanded to become a record label in 1991, concert promoters in 1992, a Canadian distributor in 1995, and an international distributor in 1998. We have long been known for our knowledge, diversity, involvement, and support of independent music.
