A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes is the third and final studio album from the British duo Wax, released on 22 September 1989.

[3] After the album failed to achieve major commercial success, Gold and Gouldman disbanded and moved on to separate projects.

[4] Upon its release, Paul Lewis of the South Wales Evening Post praised A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes as "excellent" and continued, "The songs are accessible with enough quirky touches to lift them out of the ordinary soft rock bracket.

"[5] The Newcastle Evening Chronicle commented, "Gouldman and Gold team up again and get off to a fine start with the melodic yet rhythmic 'Anchors Aweigh'.

"[6] Paul Taylor of the Manchester Evening News noted the album "is not an unqualified success", but added "there is plenty of high quality songwriting and fresh instrumentation outweighing the less-inspired tracks".
