While Top Rank's British acts (such as John Leyton) were assigned to EMI's Columbia and His Master's Voice labels, Stateside continued to issue records from its American suppliers, including Amy, Bell, 20th Century Fox, Scepter, Vee-Jay and A&M, and acquired Tamla-Motown-Gordy from Oriole Records.

Stateside has retrospectively attracted interest from northern soul fans, mainly for its role in releasing American Motown recordings in the UK market.

Stateside issued 45 of them, including the number 1 "Baby Love" in 1964, prior to the establishment of the UK Tamla Motown label.

That forced the deletion of titles to which Capitol Records, now owned by Universal Music Group, had the rights.

In the summer of 2017, Warner Music relaunched the Stateside label for classic jazz, soul and R&B releases.
