Eddie Holland was one third of the famous songwriting/production team Holland, Dozier, Holland but way before that (in 1962) he issued his only, self-titled album for Motown. ‘The Definitive Remastered Edition’ takes this set and adds a further 15 bonus tracks taken from 45s from the Mercury, United Artists, Tamla and Motown labels. Vocally Holland has similarities with Jackie Wilson and the upbeat ‘True Love Will Go a Mighty Long Way’, ‘If It’s Love (It’s Alright)’ and ‘Gotta Have Your Love’ are great early 60s dancers. There are the standard ballads and mid tempo efforts but it’s on the uptempo moments that Holland really comes to life. The pick of the bonus cuts are ‘Leaving Here’ and ‘You Deserve What You Got’. Fans of early 60s and Motown will enjoy.
