Tamla Motown was a label created by UK Tamla-Motown Appreciation Society head E.M.I. Records Limited. The first releases were in March 1965 in the UK.

Thereafter the label was used by EMI companies worldwide until replaced by the Motown blue label in October 1976, although it was still used for reissues. RCA took over distribution of the label in the United Kingdom in 1981 and it is now owned by Universal Music Group.

The label's name and variations on the UK EMI designed logo were also used by non-EMI companies, as Motown owned the brand, most notably in Canada. Any Tamla Motown branded release is 1965 or later.
