Various Artists: This Is Goldwax 1964-1968 / Various

Double vinyl LP pressing. For the latest of the This Is series' label spotlights - following our acclaimed looks at Flying Dutchman and Fame - we focus on Goldwax as it celebrates it's 60th birthday, and feature the cream of the recordings made during it's short existence. This is Goldwax throws the spotlight not only on James Carr, but vital label mate Spencer Wiggins and also the beautiful harmonies of the Ovations. These three acts were the mainstays of Goldwax, and alongside the song writing talents of George Jackson and Dan Greer, show why the label's influence is still important today. There are gems strewn throughout the catalogue, from the earliest recordings of 'Why Can't We Live Together' hitmaker Timmy Thomas, through rarely-recorded artists such as Philip & the Faithfuls. This two LP set also demonstrates how strong the Memphis club and studio scene was at the time with recordings of Willie Walker, Percy Milem, Barbara Perry, Gene 'Bowlegs' Miller and others who recorded sparsely but were popular live performers."This is Goldwax" comes in a wide spine sleeve, with fully illustrated and annotated inner sleeves. A perfect introduction to the label as it enters it's seventh decade.
