I only got this record today because it has the ever eternal classic "Love Is The Message", whose breakbeat is that magnificient
The rest of the record is surprisingly that DYNAMITE
If you see this record in the wild, GO GET IT. It's hella fun to listen to! :) -

The cover of this album is a disaster to an otherwise wonderful horn driven album.
Side A: Jazz, Side B: Early Disco + big band Jazz hybrid -

Love Is The Message is by far one of the best albums to come out Philadelphia Intl. Amazing sax and xylophone sections, lengthy solos with call-and-response melodies while being unbelievably danceable. This record pressing is one of the best sounding albums I have listened to and had lots of thought, love and money put into it. -

For me, I think that 'Love is the message' is the ultimate cool down track... You've been taken higher and higher... Then this drops... A time to re-connect with all that's happening! Larry, Frankie, Ron Hardy would use this as a bridging point, bring some love back in the room... Let's move on... Upward, Upward, Higher and Higher... -

This cannot be... that no one has even taken the time to write anything about this record. This is foundation material here... should be required listening for anybody who loves soul music and dancing. Truly among the greatest music to come out of Philadephia.
