Best Answer

There was a Motown division called Tamla-Motown, that distributed US recordings as well as a number of UK labels under it's umbrella such as Gull.

The 1960's Motown started in the UK by using various labels: Stateside, Fontana, London and Oriole before starting it's own Tamla-Motown label.
