Collectors' Items album for sale Product Description

Collectors' Items album for sale by O'Jays was released Jun 19, 2012 on the Hi Horse label. Collectors' Items is an O'Jays compilation with a narrow range (basically 1972-76), a contradictory title, and odd sequencing, but a parade of huge hits that make up for any of its other faults. Using two LPs (or one CD, in its digital incarnation) to collect songs from only six albums, the set has plenty of room to anthologize all of the smooth Philly soul trio's biggest singles from the early- to mid-'70s: "Love Train," "Back Stabbers," "I Love Music," "Give the People What They Want," "Livin' for the Weekend." Even though all of the songs that had to be here are here, a few bizarre choices make this less than the definitive compilation of their time: why take "Sunshine" from 1972's Back Stabbers, but not the far superior "Time to Get Down" or "992 Arguments" (or both)? Why use "Darlin' Darlin' Baby (Sweet Tender Love)" from 1976's Message in Our Music, but not the gorgeous title track? These few questionable decisions aside, Collectors' Items delivers exactly what fans expect, and there is actually one item for the collectors: a previously unreleased cover of "Wildflower," a recent hit for the Canadian group Skylark as well as the New Birth. Collectors' Items CD music contains a single disc. ...See Full Description

Only half the story...
If you love Gerald Levert, his dad, Eddie, will blow you away! I combined this with the CDs BEST OF THE O'JAYS: 1976-1991 and I'LL BE SWEETER TOMORROW: THE BELL SESSIONS 1967-1969 for a non-stop, killer collection.

O'Jays --ICONs of the 70s
This is the ultimate Collector's CD. I have always wanted this CD although I still have the older vinyl versions of the 70s. Great relaxing music to enjoy any time for home parties! Enjoy Zita.
