Review

• Backed by a femme group straight out of the Tamla-Motown charm school, 'Stronger Than Love' perks along with James in a more than usually rasping form. Bouncy and almost tongue in cheek at times, it is very typical of the sort of sides that were finding great favour in juke-boxes at that time, and midway through there is an all-too-brief but tantalising sax break which adds to the side's overall sophistication  (from the Complete Goldwax CD by Dave Godin)
