[motony]

Yes, the CONTACT LP is GREAT!I always loved it & "You Brought the Joy" &"Bring the Boys Home" are my fave Freda Payne records.I do think Invictus/Hot Wax suffered from "bad" business.H D H great, creative but lacked business saavy that was greatly needed....they were not Berry Gordy.

Yes Indeed; Invictus/Hot Wax didn't last long thanks to bad business decisions [along with the departures of Lamont Dozier and other creative staff at the company]. However, they were still at the top of the Soul Music World when Freda Payne's Contact LP came out in 1971. There were great hit singles with 'Cherish What Is Dear To You', 'You Brought The Joy' and 'Bring The Boys Home' as well as the moving 'I'm Not Getting Any Better'/'Suddenly It's Yesterday' suite.
