Wand Records was started by Florence Greenberg in 1961 as a subsidiary of Scepter Records. In 1976 Florence Greenberg decided to retire from the business and sold her record labels to Springboard International. When Springboard went bankrupt, Gusto Records acquired the catalog.
Artists on Wand Records included artists like The Isley Brothers and The Kingsmen. The Kingsmen acquired full ownership of their Wand catalog in court from Gusto for nonpayment of royalties.
