Wand Records was an American independent record label, started by Florence Greenberg in 1961 as a subsidiary of Scepter Records.[1] Artists on Wand Records included The Isley Brothers, The Kingsmen, Mel Wynn & the Rhythm Aces, Chuck Jackson, and the Monzas.

In 1976, Greenberg retired from the business and sold her record labels to Springboard International.[1] When Springboard went bankrupt, Gusto Records acquired the catalog.[1] The Kingsmen acquired full ownership of their Wand catalog in court from Gusto for non-payment of royalties.
