The Weather Girls and Martha Wash
Hallelujah! Carry On: The Deluxe Collection 1982-1992 is a long-overdue assessment of Martha Wash and Izora Armstead's unlikely journey toward the top of the pop charts, some fascinating music that came before it - and a triumphant second act by Wash following some truly bizarre situations that only could have happened in the music industry. This 4CD box set, compiled and produced by Adam Mattera, presents The Weather Girls' three albums for Columbia Records - Success (1983), Big Girls Don't Cry (1985) and The Weather Girls (1988) - plus Wash's self-titled solo debut from 1992; together, they feature a total of 22 bonus songs and remixes, of which eight are making their debut on CD. Nick Robbins has remastered the audio, packaged with a booklet designed by Roger Williams featuring rare photographs and new liner notes by Tim Dillinger.
