Hot! Live and Otherwise is a combination live and in-studio album by American singer Dionne Warwick, released in 1981 on Arista Records. The LP was originally issued as number A2L 8605 in the Arista Catalog.

An extended version of this album is available having been issued on CD in 2007.

History

The live portion of the albums was recorded over several dates at Harrah's Casino in Reno, Nevada in the spring of 1981. The original 2-LP release featured three sides of live recordings, plus a fourth side of studio recordings, including the pop and AC hit "Some Changes Are for Good". Three of those studio recordings were produced by Michael Masser and the other two were produced by Steve Buckingham.

The album was reissued on CD in 2007 with new liner notes from David Nathan, a slightly amended track listing (missing the live track "We Never Said Goodbye" and one of the studio tracks "Dedicate This Heart"), and added two previously unissued studio bonus cuts, "When the Good Times Come Again" and "Right Back." The former song was written by Richard Kerr and Will Jennings – the same writing team that provided Warwick with her gold-selling comeback hit, "I'll Never Love This Way Again" in 1979.
