For the most part this album does not disappoint. It doesn't need to trade on the well-known rarity and the shining quality (no pun intended, honest) of "She Shined A Light" is enough in itself to warrant a purchase. If you replace the lead singer with Skip Martin or Bobby Harris then you could have a classy early 80s Dazz Band track - think their "Invitation To Love" set from the same year and Bob's yer uncle. I suppose you could say the same with "Think Positively". There is a great twitchy, live funky feel and a track like this does not do any damage whatsoever. The funky, slight disco flavour permeates their cover of "Just Me 'N You", and although does not better the J.R. Bailey version it is definitely right on the money for it's time. I much prefer, and plumb for every time, the slinkier and horn-filled "Will You Love Me Tomorrow (As You Do Today)"; the sax solo certainly helps raise the bar too. Check it out. You will be pleased to know this 80s gem is still very much available - and so it should be!
