The first 7" vinyl release was "Julie and the Porthole to Dimentia" in 1993, which featured a track each by the members of Eric's Trip.<ref>[http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=erics_trip Trouser Press]</ref>
In 1994, Jon Claytor and Julie Doiron became business partners and ran the label together until 2000.
The label lay dormant for a number of years after Julie Doiron won a Juno Award for ''Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars'' in 2000, and subsequently signed to Endearing Records in Canada and Jagjaguwar internationally. The label was restarted in 2006 by Julie Doiron, Jon Claytor and Paul Henderson.
Sappy Records also hosts the Sappy Records Music Festival (or SappyFest) in Sackville, New Brunswick, and has featured notable acts such as The Arcade Fire, Holy Fuck, The Acorn, Attack in Black, Chad VanGaalen, Old Man Luedecke, Ohbijou and Wintersleep.<ref>[http://exclaim.ca/musicreviews/generalreview.aspx?csid1=114&csid2=33&fid1=27198 Sappy Fest in Exclaim]</ref> It takes place in the summer.<ref>[http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44581-erics-trip-reunite-again-tour-canada Pitchforkmedia.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071230053254/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44581-erics-trip-reunite-again-tour-canada |date=2007-12-30 }}</ref>
