The Wingate Label was a subsidiary of Golden World and operated from 1965 to 1967. The label
was owned by Eddie Wingate, who was the biggest Motown competitor of the various Detroit labels. The
label was purchased by Motown in 1966 along with Golden World and Ric-Tic. Both WinGate and
Golden World were immediately discontinued, probably because they were so closely associated with
Eddie Wingate, but Ric-Tic continued for a while.
The Wingate album label was red with black printing, with "WinGate" spelled out vertically to the left of the center hole. At left are both sides of the lone WinGate album. | ||
