Golden World Records was a Detroit record label owned by Eddie Wingate and Joanne Jackson Bratton. Golden World operated from 1962 to 1968. Irving Biegel had been Manager at the label after spending 4 years at Motown.In 1966 he moved to Palmer Records.
The label and its subsidiaries Wingate & Ric-Tic were purchased by Berry Gordy in 1968(along with the contracts of Edwin Starr & J.J.Barnes who were not happy as Gordys reputation preceded him), and folded into Gordy's Motown Record Corporation. The Golden World studio became Motown's "Studio B", working in support of the original Motown recording studio (Studio A) at Hitsville USA. Before its purchase by Gordy, the studio's recordings often included moonlighting Motown back-up musicians, including James Jamerson bass and George McGregor who was the studio percussionist.More info can be found HERE at the excellent Soulful Detroit site(I have been a member since its inception) if any of you were not aware,get over and have a browse.The story unfolds into the link with the UK Northern Soul Scene.These 2 Boots contain some very rare tracks indeed and go for crazy prices online!...All tracks were played on the Northern Circuit somewhere at sometime...MY FAVOURITE SOUL CITY ...DETROIT...USA!
