W&G released many significant recordings by Australian popular artists of the 1960s and also issued recordings of popular American artists, notably releases from the ABC-Paramount (Ampar) label, which W&G distributed from 1955 until 1960, when the Australian distribution was taken over by Festival Records.

My Dad Lindsay Morehouse worked as a recording engineer from 1960-1967 at W & G. Interested in hearing from anyone who worked there in that period or was recorded by them.
