About This Item
Invictus Records is one of the legendary soul music labels from 1960/70s America. Founded in 1969 by the legendary songwriting and production team Holland-Dozier-Holland (Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland). After leaving Motown Records over royalty and creative disputes, they established Invictus (along with it's sister tag Hot Wax Records) to continue producing music with greater artistic and financial control. • Invictus quickly became known for it's polished, infectious sound - a continuation of the trio's classic Motown style but often with a slightly funkier and more mature edge. The tag was home to several major artists and hits, including Freda Payne (InchBand of GoldInch) Chairmen of the Board (InchGive Me Just a Little More TimeInch) and The Glass House (InchCrumbs Off the TableInch) • By the mid-70s, both Invictus and Hot Wax ceased operations, but their influence and catalogue remain significant today, celebrated for their crucial role in the evolution of post-Motown soul and early '70s pop. • 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.
