It serves as a successor to the band's original record label Leathür Records, which released their 1981 debut album Too Fast for Love, an imprint of Greenworld Distribution, owned by the band and original manager Allan Coffman.
Leathür was soon closed when Mötley Crüe signed a deal with Elektra, which lasted until 1997.
Albums produced under Mötley Records include Saints of Los Angeles, Red, White & Crüe, and New Tattoo.
In addition, the label also re-released the band's first seven albums as a "Crücial Crüe" edition.
Mötley Records was originally founded in August 1998 as an imprint of Beyond Music, which in turn was distributed by BMG.
