I love this one . The music remind you of the good time. The product was received on time in great condition.

I'm 57 yrs. of ago so when I pick out music, I already know it Great.

The OHIO PLAYERS seemed to crank out just one album after another straight through the '70s, with fans just as eager to see the next album cover, as hear the music. - - True, in terms of both funk, and cover illustrations they were a lot more hard core (literally) in their WESTBOUND years, but as they moved on to Mercury they came up with a new idea... the Jazzed out, funky arp driven nasty smooth funk Jam... This isn't the music you listen to put someone in the mood for the act (say like a Barry White or Grover Washington album) its the album you listen to WHILE you're doing it ! ! ! That's the best way to describe it. - - Although FIRE and SKIN TIGHT were probably their most popular albums of that era THIS and HONEY are actually my faves... I particularly like this album because ALL the tracks are good... When I was a teenager and first started listening to the players I remember always saving this album (and Issac Hayes's SHAFT) for LAST right before I went to bed, because I new I could just put it on the table and let it play straight through (!) - - then if I was still awake, turn it over, and if not... have absolutely no reason to want to STOP it and put on something else... Althoughthere were plenty of "funk" groups who were Jazzy, Slick, Smooth and Funky during that era (Gap, Cameo, Earth Wind and Fire come to mind) I like the Ohio Players because they had a genuinely nasty edge... I don't think anybody, even PRINCE in later years was able quite able to get that mix right... atleast as good as the players... and now, whenever I hear those "slow jams" playing on those "urban contemporary" type stations I can't help but think how many artists need a bit of schooling from the guys who got it right well before them ! Incidentally, if anyone in this world has a copie of JUNIE... please let me know... I have no idea where my copy went and miss it bad ! ! ! ;-)

I don't see how can you give this album anything less than four stars. This is just as good as their first three Mercury releases and uses a little more synthenseizers (courtesy of my man William "Billy Beck) but it blends in with the band so well. As usual you have classic OP cuts that varies from exceptional funk jams to the most sultry slow jams you've ever heard. First of all let me tell you why OP were one of the top three bands ever (in any musical genre). They always gave you something different and they were trendsetters of smooth out funk with some of the best slow jams by any band. They never talked to much about the world and politics (if ever), but they stuck to the script and and created a unique sound without any outside influence (unlike some bands I won't mention). Now back to this album, if you can't feel the deep down soul in "Precious Love" and "My Life"... you obviously don't know what real musical creativity is. It's worth it for those two tracks alone. I also love the title cut and the classic "Who'd She Coo?" which took time to grow on me. I don't know why they don't make music like this today. These guys are legends and kudos to Billy and Diamond on the great falsetto vocals. A must have for your OP collection!!

BEWARE BUYERS!!I have ordered this item twice in the space of a year and both times I have recieved a fake copy.I wouldn't say it's the sellers fault as the CD's come all shrink-wrapped but BEWARE...One way to tell is that the DISC has a shiney white surface and is printed on a CD-RThe real ones should be silver discs... like "Honey" and "Fire"BREAKING LAWS
