WMOT
RECORDS
Independent American label: Out of Philadelphia. WMOT - The initials stood for 'We Men Of Talent'
- was run by Steve Bernstein. WMOT came on to the scene in Britain in
1977, about a year later than it did in its home country; previous to that date
its records were issued on the Atlantic label over here. It was part
of the Fantasy group in the USA; in this country it came under the WEA umbrella
initially, its - few - singles sharing a K-10000 numerical series with those of
Atlantic. From 1978-79 the WMOT label as such seems to have
hibernated; such of the company's material as was issued in the U.K. came out on
other Fantasy-associated labels, such as Stax and Fantasy
itself. Around 1980 the label woke from its apparent slumber and
found a new lease of life; PRT was now responsible for its manufacture and
distribution, and its singles were numbered in a new WMOT-100
series. A move to Virgin followed, in 1982, at which point the
singles started sharing Virgin's VS-100 catalogue numbers. The
company is reported to have hit legal troubles in 1984; the apparent absence of
WMOT records from catalogues after that date suggests that those troubles may
well have been terminal. Distributed By PRT and Virgin
Records.
