The O'Jays

1972's Back Stabbers was the breakthrough album for The O'Jays and also put Philadelphia International Records on the map.  Produced by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, the album went to #10 on the Billboard charts while the title song was a #3 hit and the immortal "Love Train" went to #1.  The sounds coming out of Philadelphia would help to define soul music for the rest of the 1970s and into the 1980s with Gamble and Huff, along with Thom Bell, producing some of the decade's biggest hits with artists like the O'Jays, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, MFSB, Billy Paul and Lou Rawls.  This new 180-gram black vinyl edition is limited to 700 copies.
