LIMITED EDITION BROWN VINYL
Release Date: 22nd July 2022
"Not to be confused with English commercial funk outfit, Lou Ragland’s Hot Chocolate trio steamed out of the Cleveland scene in the early ’70s powered by their own recipe of grooveforward R&B. Housed in a replica jacket showcasing Dick Dugan’s ubiquitous cartooning, Numero is proud to present the first American repressing of this Forest City touchstone since its original release; a steaming mugful of funkierthan-thou tunes from the incomparable Ragland songbook. Hot is, after all, funk’s ideal serving temperature."
