Description O’Jays Back Stabbers – Ship Ahoy – Survival – Family Reunion

The turning point came when The O’Jays joined forces with acclaimed producers Gamble & Huff, whose signature blend of socially conscious lyrics, lush arrangements and irresistible grooves propelled the group to international stardom. Together, they helped define the unmistakable sound of Philadelphia soul that dominated the charts throughout the 1970s.

This essential package includes some of the band’s most iconic recordings, featuring timeless hits such as Back Stabbers, Love Train—a US number one single—For The Love Of Money and I Love Music. These tracks remain cornerstones of classic soul, funk and R&B, celebrated for their message-driven songwriting and instantly recognisable melodies.

All four albums have been digitally remastered for superior sound quality and are presented in a slipcased edition, complemented by extensive new liner notes that explore the music, the era and the enduring impact of The O’Jays. A must-have release for fans of classic soul, Philadelphia International Records and 1970s R&B, this collection captures The O’Jays at their creative and commercial peak.
