Hotline is the sixth studio album by American rock band The J. Geils Band. The album was released on September 9, 1975, by Atlantic Records.
The original record used novel packaging similar to a pop-up book, requiring owners to physically "pick up" the receiver from the printed telephone to remove the sleeve.
The intro of "Believe in Me" also became the intro tune to the German Rockpalast rock events.
