Excellent record, in the vein of the S/T album. Look out especially for "Everytime I see you, I go wild!", by Stevie Wonder, a killer track in a very funky, sensual way. "We're On Our Way Home" is (are) also excellent, although I found it frustrating it was cut up in 2 parts. Get the 12" in addition to this remarkable LP.

Apr 28, 2008 | 3:09 pmAs far as "Journey to the light" being presented differently, it might just be a slight redesign for a later reissue. That reminds me of both US pressings of Crown Heights Affair's "Dreaming a Dream"/"Foxy Lady" LP. Same tracks, same label (DeLite), so why the different design/title??? Beats me. I can only assume they re-lauched the album later for whatever reason, and wanted to confuse the market, or separate the renewed project from the original one...

Different titles referring to tracks designed for different markets. Queen Samantha 2 was released on Marlin in the US with an almost instrumental, electronic club mix of "Take a Chance"; the french issue, on Jonathan, had a much more radio friendly, shorter, vocal mix. When different singles were issued on different markets for radio/club play, it was easier to sell the LP when its title referred directly to the known track...

I got one copy from the record pool, it had no title on the cover. The other copy I got from CBS directly, and when I pulled that one out, it lists the title JOURNEY INTO NIGHT on the very bottom of the album, maybe a full inch from the bottom. Your copy has the title right across the upper half of the album cover? So that is three different album covers, on USA printed albums?? It probably has to do with geographical locations or something like that. I had never seen something like that. Now for what you were mentioning. Tina Charles, Sheena Easton and Gary Glitter also come to mind with tracks being identical, but with title changes on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. I wonder Why?

Foreign issue, maybe? I know quite a few records bore the name of different tracks on different markets. Jumbo's US pressing of "Turn on to love" was Jumbo 76: "Sexy Lady" in France. And Olympic Runners specialized in different titles/tracklists between US/UK releases on most of their LPs...

I have a couple of copies of this record. And even though the catalog numbers are the same, and everything else is the same. My covers don't list the title"JOURNEY TO THE LIGHT"on it. Strange!!
True. good point. Thanks Chris, you answered the question for me. KOOL!
