Webco Records was founded in 1980 by its namesake Mr. Wayne E. Busbice. Between 1985 and 1988, Bill Emerson was A&R director.[1]
In 1989 Bill Emerson and his son John acquired the Webco label, and from 1990 until 1994 John Emerson operated the label as Webco Records of Virginia.[2]
In 1994 Tom Riggs acquired the Webco label in 1994 to be part of Pinecastle Records. This deal included previous released and unreleased recordings, and recording contracts.[3]
Pinecastle has since launched the Webco Classics imprint, on which select recordings previously released on the Webco label were compiled and reissued.[4]
