About This Item
Two CDs. Hot Wax Records was a soul and R&B record tag 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 (InchWant Ads,Inch InchStick-UpInch) The 8th Day (InchShe's Not Just Another WomanInch) Flaming Ember (InchWestbound #9Inch). This collection bring together all the most treasured singles from the Hot Wax tag. • Includes in-depth liner notes by acclaimed writer and music historian Stuart Cosgrove. Album Tracks 1.
