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 its sister label Hot Wax Records) to continue producing music with greater artistic and financial control. Invictus quickly became known for its polished, infectious sound - a continuation of the trio's classic Motown style but often with a slightly funkier and more mature edge. The label was home to several major artists and hits, including: Freda Payne ('Band of Gold'), Chairmen of the Board ('Give Me Just a Little More Time') and The Glass House ('Crumbs Off the Table'). 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 definitive 2CD collection bring together all the most treasured Invictus Records recordings and features in-depth liner notes by acclaimed writer and music historian Stuart Cosgrove.
