American; Barry White's label. Unlimited Gold issued its first LP in the States in 1976, but it appears to have only got properly into its stride c.1979. Unhappily for the company, by that time Disco music, its speciality, was being edged out by Soul and Rap; records by White and by Love Unlimited on the new label therefore failed to repeat the success that previous releases on 20th Century label had enjoyed. By 1984 Unlimited Gold was no more. Manufactured and distributed by CBS in Britain, the company's singles first appeared here in1979; they shared a catalogue series with the rest of CBS's product, though they had their own ULG prefix. Only two of them were issued in our decade, both of them by Barry White: 'I Found Love' b/w 'I'm On Fire' (ULG-7319) kicked things off in April 1979, with 'Love Ain't Easy' b/w 'You're The One I Need' (ULG-7778) following along in August of that year.
