This was a pretty good album and the title track was a sho-nuff funky ass shaker, especially that breakdown in the middle. It contained the jams:

Your Wish Is My Command
Magic Moment
Something About That Woman
I Want To Hold Your Hand

Anybody into this one?

I'm gonna look for this album on the next vinyl dig

I was so glad when they issued this album on cd. I had looked up and down for it. I could not seem to find it on vinyl (in decent shape) and my cassette (that I stole from my cousin) tore up. "Something About That Woman" is my favorite jam on this album.

Yeah this one is tight. Come on vain slow down.
Don't hurt em with all the funk jams today.
Save some of the funk for friday.

I'm off work tomorrow and Friday.

Does that mean we won't hear from you until Saturday? Or does that mean u will be jamming extra hard on ur days off?

That means y'all won't hear from me until Monday. And that's only if the boss has an appointment off the premises or leaves early.

I only have Lakeside's greatest hits. This is a good one, but I don't usually listen to it, because I turn it off by the time their awful version of I Want to Hold Your Hand comes on. It almost ruins everything that comes after it.

I actually like their version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand". Its probably because it was my first exposure to the song (my parents were not Beatle fans). I remember seeing them on Soul Train performing this in their white suits.

Got the album. Haven't listened to it in awhile, though. As I recall, it's a decent effort, but not on par with the likes of 'Shot Of Love'

You know, to me, Lakeside's albums were all hit and miss. They all had some great songs, but a LOT of filler.

Is 'Shot Of Love' the album with "It's All The Way Live"?

That's the album I want! Is it worth hunting down? Does it contain an extended version of "It's All The Way Live"?

SoulAlive said:

Well, in short: ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY
It's pretty much all killer and no filler
The version of 'It's All Way Live' included on the album clocks at 7 minutes and 14 seconds.
