· The smoothest of seventies R&B outfits, HEATWAVE crossed many borders, laying claim to huge hits like Boogie Nights, The Groove Line, Gangsters Of The Groove and Always And Forever, which had a great impact on both sides of the Atlantic. The members of Heatwave hailed from all over the globe making this group a truly international act which contributed to their unique and influential sound.

· With every tracked penned by keyboardist Rod “Thriller” Temperton TOO HOT TO HANDLE (R&B #7/Pop #12) was Heatwave’s debut LP released in 1976 on GTO Records and heralded a run of commercial and critical success into the 80’s on four more outstanding LP’s which you will also find remastered and expanded in the BBR catalogue.

· The stand out tracks include the worldwide disco/funk smash “Boogie Nights” (Pop #2/R&B #5/UK #2), the slick title track “Too Hot To Handle” (UK #12), the slow jam ballad guided by Johnnie Wilder’s stunning vocal “Always And Forever” (R&B #2/Pop #18/UK #9) as well as dance floor hits like “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” and “Super Soul Sister”. Also featured are the non-lp hit “Slip Your Disc To This” (UK #12), and “Turn Out The Lamplight” which was later covered by George Benson on his Quincy Jones produced Give Me The Night album.

· BBR is proud to offer TOO HOT TO HANDLE. Beautifully remastered and repackaged complete with extensive liner notes and added bonus content this BBR Remaster is perfect for all R&B, Soul, Funk, Disco and Dance fans out there! Get it while you can!
