Love to The world is magical!
So much great music bubbling away at this time, a great era!
Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, Reggae, Latin Jazz, Rock. And this is where Hip Hop was in it's infancy just starting to form then explode onto the world stage, wow!

My copy is kind of weird. It looks identical to an original press, but on the back, in the bottom right is the code R 123786. This number is also printed on the inner sleeve and at the top of the label, as well as in the dead wax. The dead wax has a stamped 1 and a stamped A1 separately, as well as a scratched "A" near the A1. No barcode. Could be a pressing that's not on the site, but SP-4589 is still on the inner sleeve and label.
I know it seem like I'm contradicting myself by giving "Love To The World" 3 stars and then calling it a "Classic", but you have to understand the circumstance. When I was a kid, this album got played, I mean really played. Like it or not it has 3 not so good songs, so what makes it a classic is the 4 great songs ("Time For Pleasure","Love Ballad", "Let The Music Keep Playing", and the bumppin' title track). Nobody even known that L.T.D. had 2 albums before this, it was the beginning blueprint on what would be a great journey into a great group. So now you know...
