Holland-Dozier-Holland: Hot Wax Singles / Various

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") Laura Lee ("Crumbs Off The Table") and 100 Proof (Aged In Soul) (Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed') This collection brings together the most treasured singles from the Hot Wax label.  This 1LP highlights set bring together some of the most treasured Invictus Records recordings and features in-depth liner notes by acclaimed writer and music historian Stuart Cosgrove.
