HURTBOX008 Holland-Dozier-Holland: Rare 45s Vinyl Box - Released 08/12/14
Following the success of the recent Harmless release, ‘Holland —Dozier-Holland: The Complete 45s Collection’, we’ve been inundated with requests to make some of the previously unreleased acetates, test-pressings and remixes available on a 7” vinyl format. So here it is! Welcome to the ‘Holland-Dozier-Holland: Rare 45s Box Set’ due to popular demand!
This will be 10 x 7” vinyl records all in bespoke Invictus, Hot Wax and Music Merchant Sleeves together with a 20 7” x 7” page booklet courtesy of Robert Moss which contains recent interviews with Eddie Holland, Ralph Terrana, Frank Bryant of the Just Brothers, Dennis Coffey, Angelo Bond, Ed Wolfrum and Ron Dunbar plus many additional photographs and scans, all housed in a heavyweight secure box.
This is the first time-ever that any of these records, versions or remixes have been released on vinyl and all have been signed off by Holland-Dozier-Holland. For collectors of Detroit and Motown rarities this will be a ‘must-purchase’ item and will sit beautifully alongside the recent Motown Rare 7” Box Sets.
Also, please note that the 3 x Tom Moulton remixes of the Vocal and Instrumental remixes of the Chairmen Of The Board’s “Give Me Just A Little More Time”/“You’ve Got Me Dangling On A String” and Freda Payne’s “Unhooked Generation” will only be available on vinyl via this package.
There will be also be some heightened interest in this release following the recent TV show - “The Nation’s Favourite Motown Song” plus the various TV programs and the Top 10 Box Office success of "Northern Soul: The Film”.
