Invictus Records

Invictus Records

Invictus Records was a record label created by Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland (known collectively as Holland-Dozier-Holland). Until 1967 H-D-H were the top composer/ producer team for Motown Records, but for better control and greater rewards they launched Invictus along with Hot Wax Records in 1968. Their most successful acts were Freda Payne and Chairmen of the Board; they also released Parliament's first album, "Osmium". The label was distributed by Capitol Records from 1969 to 1972, and then by Columbia Records.

On leaving Motown, H-D-H were subject to a legal challenge by Berry Gordy and as a result they were temporarily unable to issue new compositions on their labels. Consequently the names "Holland/Dozier/Holland" were not used until 1970 (releases were initially credited to "(Ronald) Dunbar and (Edythe) Wayne").

Although Hot Wax Records was effectively closed in 1973, when Lamont Dozier left to forge a solo career, Invictus continued to operate on a reduced level until 1977 when it too folded.
