Stand In For Love

So I'm gonna give this an other go after my admittedly feeble first attempt. Will (hopefully) be keeping things a bit more up to date from now on, so keep checking in. To kick us back into action we have this elusive O'Jays cover from Pandella Kelly.

Fell in love with this soulful cut on first listen but any attempt to find a copy of the 7" or even a download has been futile. No info on discogs but apparently a copy went for $1069 on ebay a few years back so I won't be keeping the hopes too high. Released on Cleveland Horoscope/Saru records which had major creative input from the O'Jays themselves. The label was brought back into the limelight in 2013 with the release of Kanye's Bound 2. That track was heavily based on an uncleared sample of Ponderosa Twins Plus One's Bound, originally released on Horoscope. A copyright lawsuit was filed by Ricky (The Plus One From Ponderosa Twins Plus One) Spicer, the outcome of which is unknown.

Please forgive the delayed return, I'll be back again soon!
