PWL

PWL

PWL (Pete Waterman Ltd) is the production company one-time pop and dance record label owned by pop mogul Pete Waterman. The label is most famous for being the home of hit record producers Stock Aitken Waterman.

After producing many hits for other record companies, PWL launched its own label in 1987 (PWL Records) with the balearic classic Mandy Smith "I Just Can't Wait", although it peaked at #91.

As a record label, PWL enjoyed success with Australian artists such as Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan and Holland's dance group 2 Unlimited. And as a production house they produced hits for English artists such as Rick Astley and Bananarama on other record labels.

In the early 90s, Pete Waterman formed a new label, PWL International in partnership with Warner Music. However with other projects taking up Waterman's time, his involvement in the label decreased and so PWL International Ltd evolved into Warner sublabel Coalition.

Pete Waterman Ltd is still in operation as of 2006 and operates the label EBUL through Jive Records and Zomba.
