Originally known as The Triumphs and later, The Mascots, The O'Jays would emerge at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with Back Stabbers in 1972. That breakthrough hit joins a set balanced by well-known singles from their artistic zenith and LP-only cuts, including Love Train; I Love Music; Put Your Hands Together; For the Love of Money; Give the People What They Want; Time to Get Down; Livin' for the Weekend , and more.
The best of their 1972-76 Philadelphia International smashes: Back Stabbers; Love Train; Time to Get Down; I Love Music; For the Love of Money; Livin' for the Weekend , and more!
Format: Vinyl Record LP, Philadelphia International Records. UK release from 1977. Soul, Funk and Disco music compilation LP release from The O'Jays. 11 tracks. Lovely fresh and clean copy.
After their early-'70s breakthrough with "Back Stabbers" and "Love Train," the O'Jays were the main vehicle for Philadelphia International's social-comment songs. After the likes of the half-hearted "Message in Our Music" became the norm, however, the trio's focus locked mostly on matters of the heart. The results were sometimes inspired (1978's "Use Ta Be My Girl" and a 1991 cover-transformation of Dylan's "Emotionally Yours"), if hardly as essential as their earlier work. This 17-cut CD, though, will be prized by fans. --Rickey Wright
