Feb. 7, two CDs, import.
From Ace Records:
The latest in our series of Motown collections is a 2CD set comprising
the complete recordings of Eddie Holland, which joins our recent
Satintones, Contours, Patrice Holloway and Marv Johnson compilations.
As
a member of the celebrated Holland-Dozier-Holland team, Eddie Holland
is best-known as one of the top songwriters of the 1960s. No mean
vocalist either, he was a recording artist in his own right, before
withdrawing from the spotlight to concentrate on penning hits for the
Supremes, Four Tops and many of the other leading lights of Motown.
Disc
One comprises the A and B-sides of each of the 15 singles he released
on the Mercury, Kudo, Tamla, United Artists and Motown labels between
1958 and 1964. Of the 25 tracks on Disc Two, 18 are previously unissued
masters from the Motown vaults, among them titles written by Berry
Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield and, of course,
Holland-Dozier-Holland.
Compiled and annotated by noted Motown
archivist Keith Hughes, and fully authorized by Motown HQ in the USA,
the set comes with an impressive booklet featuring an exclusive
interview with Eddie Holland and a plethora of rare illustrations.
