The Complete Goldwax Singles Volume 1 1962-1966

The first of three 2CD sets that will, between them, reissue the A- and B-sides of every single released by revered Memphis label Goldwax Records and its subsidiary labels between 1963 and 1971. To soul fans, Goldwax remains one of the pivotal labels of the era, introducing the world to artists of the caliber of OV Wright, James Carr and the Ovations. But Goldwax also recorded and issued first-rate country, blues and garage rock, as will be heard during the course of this series. Many of the tracks featured across this and future volumes will be receiving their first-ever CD issue. The whole project has been endorsed by Goldwax founder Quinton Claunch, who has also provided reminiscences of several of the more obscure artists that are featured. Featuring copious single-by-single annotation, and with a shot of at least one side of every 45 that's featured in the set, this package is guaranteed to grab significant media attention in the wake of Aces ongoing success with the 3CD Take Me To The River: A Southern Soul Story project.
