Birdman Records

Birdman Records is an independent record label based in South San Francisco founded by former Warner Bros. Records A&R vice-president David Katznelson. It is under the umbrella of the Birdman Recording Group, which includes other labels such as Sepia Tone Records, Tornado Records and Tariff Records.

In addition to its focus on particular artists, the label produced a 1999 tribute album to the late Skip Spence, featuring contributions from Robert Plant, Beck and Tom Waits, among others, with the objective at the time of funding Spence's medical care. Spence died shortly before the release of the record, but is reported to have heard some or all of it prior to his death.
