E.K. Records Company

E. K. Records Company (shortened as E. K. Records) was a short-lived record label founded by the band Godsmack in early 1997 to self-release their debut album "All Wound Up" on compact disc. After selling out of the first two pressings of "All Wound Up", the band opted not to use the record label's name on the third and fourth pressings of the compact disc in 1998, instead crediting the copyrights directly to "Godsmack". This was because the band was negotiating with Republic Records, and there were discussions of re-releasing the album on a major record label.
