Various Artists- Holland-Dozier-Holland: Hot Wax Singles / Various - Deluxe Gatefold 2CD Set
SKU: 740155746636
Hot Wax Records was a soul and R&B record label founded in 1968 by the legendary songwriting and production team Holland-Dozier-Holland after their departure from Motown Records. Alongside Invictus Records (their other imprint), Hot Wax allowed them to continue creating music independently, with full creative and financial control. • Hot Wax specialized in vibrant, richly produced soul music with a strong pop sensibility - very much an extension of the signature Motown sound but often edgier and funkier. It became a major player in early 1970s R&B. • Some of it's most notable artists and releases include Honey Cone ("Want Ads," "Stick-Up") The 8th Day ("She's Not Just Another Woman") Flaming Ember ("Westbound #9"). This collection bring together all the most treasured singles from the Hot Wax label. • Includes in-depth liner notes by acclaimed writer and music historian Stuart Cosgrove.
