Central Heating: Expanded Edition

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. The smoothest of 70s R&B outfits, Heatwave crossed many borders, laying claim to huge hits 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. Heatwave's sophomore LP Central Heating (R&B #2/Pop #10/UK#26), released in 1977 on GTO Records, more than lived up to the group's breakthrough album from the year before. All but two of the tracks were penned by Rod "Thriller" Temperton with the remainder from the hand of lead vocalist Johnnie Wilder.
