Amsterdam Russ Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) did this to see what soul records were on the label, about 1/3 of the label is soul. posting just to share since it seems complete: Know anything about the label at all, Bob? Got a copy of the brilliant Johnny D 45 about 25 years ago and wondered back then if the label might have some connection to the General Motors Corporation. https://youtu.be/4JQ4qzm_4Dg Edited March 21, 2014 by Russell Gilbert 2
Godzilla Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Know anything about the label at all, Bob? Got a copy of the brilliant Johnny D 45 about 25 years ago and wondered back then if the label might have some connection to the General Motors Corporation. The label says Go Go Music corporation.
Amsterdam Russ Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 The label says Go Go Music corporation. Yes, I know. And my post says that I wondered about it back then. 1

Got One Aswell ... Brilliant Tempo - Would Never Sell This 45
Robbk Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Know anything about the label at all, Bob? Got a copy of the brilliant Johnny D 45 about 25 years ago and wondered back then if the label might have some connection to the General Motors Corporation. https://youtu.be/4JQ4qzm_4Dg I doubt that very much. If General Motors started a record division, it would have had a much longer run and many more records issued, and many LPs issued. It would have been more like RCA, Columbia, Decca, -or, at least, like a secondary sub-major label, like 20th Century Fox or Colpix. A label owned by General Motors would have had a giant payroll and budget just to get started. They would have gone at least 5 years, and had over 100 releases. This 15 45RPM releases over a couple-year period seems more like a tiny independent like "Go Go Music".

It seemed like a nice thought though, that a company with a deep reliance on the Afro-American community might get involved in a sideline such as a record label. Running with the idea in my head, I also wondered - if it was run by General Motors - if the acts might have been plucked from the corporation's own productions lines and factory floors. As I say, a small flight of fancy at the time and one which quite appealed to me.
