GWR Records was a record label active in the UK from 1986 through to 1991. By 1984, Gerry Bron's Bronze Records were in financial difficulty leading to a hiatus in recording activity for Motörhead. Eventually, Motörhead managers Douglas Smith and Dave Simmons bought the band out of their contract and Bron subsequently sold the Bronze Records rights onto Legacy Records owner Ray Richards.

- GWR Records oli englantilainen levy-yhtiö, joka toimi vuosina 1986-1991. Bronze Recordsin jouduttua taloudellisiin vaikeuksiin 1984, Motörheadin (joka oli Bronzen artisti) managerit Douglas Smith ja Dave Simmons ostivat yhtyeen sopimuksen Bronzelta, joka taas siirtyi Legacy Recordsille. Legacy Recordsin omistaja Ray Richards teki sopimuksen Douglas Smithin kanssa Motörheadin tulevista julkaisuista ja tämä johti GWR Recordsin syntyyn. Motörheadin lisäksi GWR:lle levyttivät muut Smithin manageroimat yhtyeet kuten Girlschool, Fastway, Hawkwind ja Tank. Vuonna 1992 Smith siirtyi pois GWR:n toiminnasta ja yhtiö sulautettiin Legacy Recordsiin.

Eventually, Motörhead managers Douglas Smith and Dave Simmons bought the band out of their contract and Bron subsequently sold the Bronze Records rights onto Legacy Records owner Ray Richards. Richards then contacted Smith with a proposal for a joint venture to release new product by Motörhead, leading to the formation of GWR Records (named after Smith's business address of 15 Great Western Road). In addition to Motörhead, the label mainly released product by acts associated with Smith, such as Girlschool, Fastway, Hawkwind, Tank, Atomgods and Anti-Nowhere League, and bands from the Thrash metal scene. By 1992, Smith had been ousted as a managing director of the company and the label's catalogue was absorbed into Castle Communications, which later became part of Sanctuary Records Group.
