biggrin "Time For Love" is still one of my favorites!!!

BTW, Notice guitarist Chieli Minucci on their second and third albums...he would go on to fame as the co-leader of Jazz/fusion/Pop/world group Special Efx, as well as his own current solo albums....

Yeah man , one time i had the opportunity on a festival to meet him .
He played there with Special EFX , and Dennis Chambers drummed on that set .
Unfortunately , because it was a fest , i couldn't combine it with another gig i attended .
Would have liked to have the All Night Long and Six Million Times albums autographed .
Wasn't there something going on with Chieli's health sometime ago ? ... Or was that about Jorge Linda ?

Yeah, that was George Jinda, he got sick, and eventually died some years ago...Chieli continued Special Efx without him.....That's cool that you got to meet him!

Yes , he's mentioned in the linernotes from the 1rst album .

Great to see that some companies re-issue these gems .
And they did a good job with Genie , about half the tracks are all the released remixes from back then .
