Holland, Dozier, Holland -The Complete 45s

Stunning 14 CD box set. 2014 marks the 45th Anniversary of the launch of the Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant labels the trio of labels that Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland launched following their acrimonious split from Berry Gordy's Motown Empire. Since the 45 rpm record was the fulcrum of the new operation, we thought this would be the perfect excuse to celebrate the 45th anniversary by pulling together every single 45 release from the discography of Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant both a and B sides. That's 96 x Invictus 45s, 44 x Hot Wax 45s and 17 x Music Merchant 45s- 157 singles and 269 original recordings total. In addition to the above we also scoured the world for many of the legendary unreleased singles and a number of extremely rare acetates now residing in private collections. We managed to unearth previously unreleased recordings so we've popped these in as a bonus. This is the most comprehensive re-issue project ever undertaken on this important part of Soul music history.
