Do any of you have this album? I am trying to find it. I think it contains the version of Jam the Box that I remember as a child. Is this album good?



Tracklist:
Side One:
1. We Call It the Box (5:10)
2. Jam the Box (5:15)
3. Dreaming (5:04)
4. Dream of Love (3:02)
5. At the Concert (3:35)

Side Two:
1. Throw Down (5:15)
2. Go For It (3:43)
3. Give Your Love to Me (4:34)
4. Having Big Fun on Saturday Night (4:05)
5. Drum Affair (2:59)

I never had the album but I do have the 45's "Jam The Box" and "At The Concert". I have "We Call It The Box" on an old school compilation CD.

Bill Summers and Summmers Heat could definately throwdown. They really got off the year before with "Call It What You Want". Now that album, I do have. I also have their 1982 45 "Seventeen".

I have the "Call It What You Want" album and love it. I've been intending to rip it to mp3 but haven't taken the time to do it.

There are some other good cuts on that album also such as "Snatch", "TV" and "Love Not My Life".

If you see the "Jam The Box" album though, snatch it up. I haven't heard the complete album but, from the 45s I have, it sounds like a great album. The only reason I don't have it is because I haven't seen it anywhere. I didn't buy it back in the day because, unlike today, there were sooooo many other good albums to choose from and I had to make a decision as to which album I wanted more.

Is there a Bill Summers and Summers Heat compilation? It's long overdue.

I don't believe there is. It is just as hard to find their tracks on compilations. I have "Call It What You Want" on a compilation, but that's it.

that's a shame,isn't it? There are bands that had fewer hits than they had and yet there's still a 'Best of' compilation by them.

SoulAlive said:

I know. Maybe we should write Universal to find out what's up. Hell, if a group like Portrait can have a Greatest Hits compilation from just 2 hits, they should be able to have one.

Hell of an album. There is a cut called London Town of a later album that I just LOOOOOVE!

I got those box related tracks

It's a nice album, I recall all those in bold getting play on the radio.
I dug this album from start to finish back in the day and I still play it from start to finish today.

I want that album! Gotta look for it on my next vinyl dig.
