The 8th Day - The 8th Day (1971) & I Gotta Get Home (1973) [2009, Remastered with Bonus Tracks]

After the song-writing partnership of Holland-Dozier-Holland (Edward-Lamont-Brian) left Motown in the late Sixties, they set up the INVICTUS and HOT WAX labels in the States featuring hot new soul acts like Chairman Of The Board, Freda Payne, Parliament, The Honey Cone, Ruth Copeland, Laura Lee etc. Part of a slew of UK releases covering all those acts and both of those labels (see list below) - Edsel ESCD 2068 (Barcode 740155206635) is a superbly presented anthology of that other H-D-H creation - THE 8th DAY (fronted by the fantastically expressive vocals of Melvin Davis). This UK September 2009 remastered 2CD set gathers up both of their rare early Seventies albums, non-album single sides and other related tracks.
