I love this version of Wildflower from the O'Jays Live in London album.

I used to wear out this jam on my 8-track when it came out.

Fast-forward nearly 20 years later, I'm visiting a friend in Tokyo and, after years of searching, I finally find it on CD.

We go into a cutting edge (for 1995) electronics store and take a "test drive" of a $50K stereo system for an hour of Live In London.

The salesman even set up some chairs for us to lounge in.

Good times.

at 8 track! U taking it WAY back.

Never heard this version, only the Newbirth version and of course the KCi version from a soundtrack to a movie that's name escapes me at the moment.

Thanks for posting.

I believe the O'Jays have their studio version of this song on the Survival album.

I don't believe the O'Jays recorded a studio version of Wildflower. You may be thinking about New Birth.

You're correct. I knew about New Birth's version. I may have been thinking about

the O'Jays studio version of Sunshine because they have the live version of that

too on Live in London.
