Climax (October 1974) is a compilation album by the Ohio Players and the first of two albums compiled from tracks left over from previous sessions recorded for the Detroit-based Westbound label. The group was signed to Mercury by the time Climax hit stores, and the album features only five new songs (with the other three pulled from *previous albums). Their Mercury debut, Skin Tight , was released several months earlier.
