"When this first became available, it was a classic, to those of my parents age at least. But now it has been lovingly re-released by Ubiquity records off-shoot Luv'n'Haight, it must surely take up its rightful position in every dj's and rare groover's record collection as possibly one of the finest records of its' genre!Whether you're a soulboy or a hipster, dancer or listener, I challenge anyone to find a tune like the eponymous one at the beginning. With its gentle intro on this extended version, leading on to the furious rhythm to follow, trumpets ablasting, oboe meandering and the simple almost etheral nature of the vocals--this has to be heard to be believed. It is just beautiful to listen to, and indeed beautiful to loose yourself in the whole production!Trust me this WILL be a classic for my lifetime and those yet to be born. If you think that you are a lover of that "groove" sound, put simply; you're either a MOVER or a SNOOZER...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

"I remember this vintage group from the 70s, and to run across a CD by them was like finding a forgotten keepsake in the bottom of a drawer. The virtuosity of the lead soprano on the title cut still knocks my socks off. These folks knew how to blend the mixed sounds of the 70s - new age, reggae, jazz improvisation - yet, never resorted to electronically enhancing their unique tones. Their stylized vocals coupled with the rich instrumentation is a stand-alone kind of musical genre. Wow! Are there any more releases pending..."
