The Wingate Label was a subsidiary of Golden World and operated from 1965 to 1967 in Detroit. The label was owned by Ed Wingate, who was the biggest Motown competitor of the various Detroit labels at that time. The label was purchased by Motown in 1966 along with Golden World and Ric-Tic as Berry Gordy wanted total monopoly in the record business in Detroit. Both WinGate and Golden World were immediately discontinued,probably because they were so closely associated with Ed Wingate,but Ric-Tic continued for a while. It goes without saying that this label along with many others has a great northern soul pedigree.

I like this compilation. A little bit of everything. Some good foot-stomping jazz, from Sonny Stitt, amongst others, and The Dramatics throwing in some nice ballads with Al Kent also doing his thing. Nice Review AMM. Really great stuff!
