"Oh my, my, my what a prize. Reared on the sounds of Sly and the family stone, this hit the spot.

The Jam took guts right from the start with a overtime, overload of a FUNK with some self expression added. It took me years to realize that the same bass voice that hit the charts in the 80's with the ballad, "One in a Million you" is the lead on "Your Love." Warner Bros. FIRST. That's right, FIRST Black Gold album. Hence this band set the way for The Time, Prince etc. "It's alright", "Water" and "Easy Rider", are the uptempo fun grooves here. "I can't stand the rain" is just an awesome arrangement.

Warner Bros. Party is a fun tribute to the Tower of Power, Doobie Bros. etc. Laid back fun and inspiration "Ole Smokey" and "Luckiest People." round off a super funk outing.

I do believe after the success of this recording, Warner Bros. set up a dept. for Black Music that they obviously had overlooked."
