Finally
Finally... after nearly 35 years this album becomes available on CD for the first time. Until now I only knew three tracks: "I Love The Way You Do It", "Everybody Get Up" and the irresistible "Sticks And Stones" but the rest of the song selection doesn't disappoint.Great album and a treasure to have if you were 18 in 1979 just like me and liked good disco/soul/dance music in combination with a great singer.

Master tapes? I don't think so!
Very disappointed indeed. . If these were the master tapes then they've stretched an awful lot in the intervening years. It's like listening to a wonky old cassette recorder . The music and artists deserve better than this
