Title: J-5 Early Stufff is worth a listen
Review: This is an interesting (to say the least) early look at some long-lost tunes from the J-5. While half of these are obviously rehearsals used to take up space, there are good things here. "I Never had a Girl", their first ballad, has a raw appeal and sounds like a dress rehearsal for "Who's Loving You." "Jam Session pt. 2 " , which is a forerunner to ABC, sound like the J5 cutting loose in a sanctified church! Lots of fun! "Michael the Lover" good and funky and "Let me carry your Schoolbooks" is a funny, funky tale of Mike defending his girlfriend from schoolyard bullies. Worth a listen, and not just for historical reasons.
