Tamla Motown
Tamla Records started in 1959, with the Motown Record Corporation added in the same year. The Tamla Motown label was born in the spring of 1965: a licensing deal was struck whereby Motown sent over material from the USA, from which Tamla Motown UK selected what to release. The first UK Tamla Motown tour took place in the same year. Vocal Groups
They signed up the vocal group, The Miracles, originally known as the Matadors, in 1959. The Temptations and The Supremes joined in the 1960's: they would all go on to have a succession of hit singles, with the American corporation. Disco Releases
The logo was printed in various gradients, with disco releases, in the 70's, using a combination of orange, yellow and green.
