Ooohhhhhhhmygod is there a lot of baaaad stuff on this album. I’ve never considered myself a fan of Ohio Players, although of course like most young adolescent boys in the mid-1970s I was acutely aware of their salacious album cover photography—I have this CD only for the wonderfully grinding numbers “Love Rollercoaster” and “Who’d She Coo.”
