I just ordered this album from Ebay


I'm only familiar with the title track


they followed it up with a single called "I Owe You Love" which I had never heard before


Who remembers this group and the album?

Got the album!

The aforementioned tracks are the highlights. There are a couple of tracks that appear twice on the album (normal version and instrumental). The instrumental versions come off as fillers. Other than that, great album

I like the idea of having an instrumental version of "Love Jones" on the album that music is so dreamy and lush.

How are the other songs?

SoulAlive said:

Yea, I mean the 'Love Jones' instrumental is not bad, but it just seems a little filler-ish
That's why I edited my previous post, to make myself clear

The rest of the cuts are good too

where did you find this album? I've spent years looking for it....hoping I would come across it during one of my vinyl digs I finally went to Ebay.Apparently,it was re-issued on vinyl several years ago.

SoulAlive said:

P-Vine Japan also reissued this on CD in 2006. It's very hard to find nowadays though (Amazon has one on sale for 78$)

I bought it off some seller on GEMM at some point after I had really started getting into sweet soul

EDIT: I have the album on LP, not CD.

$78?! That's why I'm so glad that I have a turntable/stereo.I can buy those rare,old albums and record them to CD-R myself,instead of paying those ridiculous prices for import CDs.

SoulAlive said:

I gotta hook up my turntable to my comp or something at some point at start recording some of my rarer lps onto CD-Rs

FuNkeNsteiN said:

this is exactly what I'm in the process of doing

I Owe you Love has backgound by the Love unlimited right?

I got most of the album on my ipod.

Do you like Can you Remember The Rain? That is my mom's jam on there.

I Owe you Love however is heaven to me other than love Jones...

A friend of mine used to make me CD-Rs of music he had recorded from a turntable hooked into a computer and they sounded like they were recorded from a little boom box. No power or bass whatsoever.

This is what I use to record CD-Rs. Plug it into your stereo receiver.....



The recordings I make with these shake the walls along with the asses.

My mom's friend is actually the brother of the young man who sang the leads on this classic. I haven't had the chance to meet him yet, but eventually I will.

I remember the group and the title track. And lawd, pink satin pimp suits and the biggest apple jack hats I've ever seen. I love the 70's!

What, baby,
what is a Love Jones?
Shucks, darling,
it's when you love someone verr, verr much
and you just can't seem to get yourself togethuh....

Like last Friday in class
when Mr.Russell was giving us the test...
I was sitting up, staring atchoo
and daydreaming....
I know I failed....
hunh... A test paper with nothing but my name on it...

That could be the result of several years worth of turning in test papers with nuthin but their names on it.

Actually,"Remember The Rain" is by another group.They're called 21st Century...


Like Brighter Side of Darkness,they also had a Jackson 5-styled sound

SoulAlive said:

Got one of their albums too

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Which one? The 1975 album? Their albums are hard to find.

SoulAlive said:

'Ahead Of Our Time' (1975). Remember The Rain is on the album

Damn,that's a rare album! It's not even on Ebay!! I'll keep hunting for it though.Is it a great album?

SoulAlive said:

It's not on Ebay or GEMM, and the only copy I've ever seen is the one I have. So yea, I think it is pretty rare


Yea, it's a great album, here are some cuts from it

Does Your Mama Know About Me

I'm determined to find this album!

SoulAlive said:

I got the 'Love Jones' album today and it is just excellent!! I like every song on it,especially "I'm A Loser","Something To Remember You By" and of course,the title track.I like the extended version.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I can't wait to make a CD-R of this album so I can play it in my car it's a "cruising-on-a-Sunday-afternoon" type of album.
