Typical LTD

"I like this CD for the same reasons Mr. Grindle dislikes it - the ballads. Apart from "Back in Love Again", LTD's uptempo songs could have been canned. I'm an avid fan of LTD for such songs as "Concentrate on You", "Love Ballad", "We Both Deserve Each Other's Love" and "(Won't Cha) Stay With Me". Shine On was an album with which I waited patiently to be reissued on CD. Jeffrey Osborne's voice and phrasing are tailor-made for romantic ballads, and are wonderfully showcased on the little known song "Lovers Everywhere", featured on this CD. The ballads on this CD lends it its value. Also, I take issue with Mr. Grindle categorizing the ballads as pop as Osborne's style in delivering them is consistent with authentic soul tradition. For fans of LTD's romantic music, I strongly recommend Shine On as it offers some well-known tracks along with some lesser known gems."
Classic L.T.D.

"This is truly L.T.D. at its best. My father purchased this albumn when I was about nine years old. I don't have a clue to where that albumn is now, but I still remember the songs. My favorites were "Where Did We Go Wrong" and "Lovers Everywhere." If you like L.T.D., you will definately love this C.D.!"
