Way Out (2)

1960s-1970s soul label from Cleveland, Ohio. Way Out records was established by Lester Johnson and Bill Branch (2) in the early 1960s as a outlet for Cleveland's large African-American music scene, primarily R&B. The Way Out operation included a recording studio and office located on East 55th Street in Cleveland, USA. As the music scene moved toward soul, Way Out started releasing records in that style, with the Springers and the Sensations as their lead acts.
