Yes, it's a good album. The album really grew on me after three or four listens. Out of the eleven cuts on the album (the original vinyl album might have less, I have a Jap import CD so some of the cuts might be bonus tracks), I love about 8 tracks, like two track a lot and the one track left over is not too bad either, but just not as good as the rest of the stuff lol

Here's the title cut,





The Lost Generation, as far as I know, only released two albums. I have them both (one on CD and one on LP). They cover a bunch of cool songs on those albums, Thin Line Between Love And Hate, Tired Of Being Alone, Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time), Give Me Just A Little More Time and Love On A Two-Way Street.
They hailed from Chicago, and both of their albums were released on Brunswick (same label the Chi-Lites were on).

It was released in 1972. It's the only release by the group.
One of the members later released four (as far as I remember) albums in the eighties as 'Michael Lovesmith', and wrote/co-wrote songs for a bunch of artists. My Name Is Jermaine (by Jermaine Jackson wink ) had, as I recall, two or three Lovesmith songs on it. 'Let's Be Young Tonight' and 'My Touch Of Madness' were penned by Lovesmith.

nod

I have two of their albums. They recorded their material while they were serving time in prison, and it shows... the sound quality is really bad.
Guess the prison didn't have high tech recording equipment wink
lol

No.
(However, if this question were asked in the General Discussion forum,
then I would reply,
"Yes. Quite intimately.")
