Every Hot Chocolate cut you could ever need on one fat slab of wax. Think of this as a “best of” for HC party favorites and floor fillers. On the more familiar side of things, you get the feel-good staple “Every 1’s A Winner” in extended 12″ format, plus the 1976 disco stomper “Heaven’s In The Back Seat Of My Cadillac” – a favorite in sets from Holy Ghost and also recently edited by The Revenge. Now for the deeper picks, you get 1979’s “Don’t Turn It Off,” an moody disco jam with catchy ass lyrics that’ll turn the heat up on the dancefloor, a long with “Night Ride,” a heavy cosmic burner for peaktime madness. High quality import pressing. Recommended.
