Love and Money - Jocelyn Square

[@simonaddison1787]

James never got the recognition he deserved as a Guitar Player

[@gavinfrankland689]

Criminal this tune wasn’t a massive hit. An ex girlfriend introduced me to love and money in 1990. 34 years later this tune still sounds as good if not better.

[@whiterat1977]

Brilliant band - brilliant single - they should have ruled the world - shows how corrupt the music business is

[@DJ-gd8hy]

In Glasgow, James Grant stills rules the world. Peace.

[@jimcorlett]

Good band would’ve been better if they hadn’t kicked ma brother in law oot

[@GW-co1ne]

Genius

[@mrartboy1]

If only James Grant wasn't such a maverick, they could have been as big as any band from the UK.

I absolutely love this song! When we talk about favourite songs, music, etc. and I name this, sometimes people look at me like I come from another planet!

[@gustavoargibay1115]

unfortunately very common in this days, quality music seems to be lost everywhere

[@keithglasgow5146]

Same with me! Brilliant song. Love Halleluiah Man and Strange kind of Love from them also. The Blue Nile tracks, Downtown Lights and Headlights on the Parade are also awesome tunes from a bygone era!

[@owentomos2306]

Because the song is out of this world.

[@marcberckmans5820]

the same her Michele..people don't know this band & their delightful , wonderful music..best album i've heard ( I'm 60 ) & have a huge collection

[@bagpusslxv4858]

Such a brilliant song and album 👍

[@bernadettegriffin8569]

This album is class. Sometimes you don't need to achieve major success to produce something that stands the test of time.

[@jimbailey66]

I love how the chorus is set up with the earlier line "Still think about you/ but only really when it rains". And I don't think it's going too far to say that this is, top to bottom, one of the greatest, most solid albums of all time. Transcendent.

[@bagpusslxv4858]

Not a duffer on the whole album - always a pleasure to listen to and never dates🤗🤗

[@davidsimpson8192]

An absolute pleasure to listen to to this very day , a Stellar album that deserves classic status .. the world missed out as did these guys RIP Bobbie Patterson

[@gillianrayner3586]

@davidsimpson8192 Bobbie Patterson died? He must've been quiet young. So sad....such a talent- well, such a talented band. I still listen to them now - with undimished enjoyment and inspiration - and I'm 74!

[@gillianrayner3586]

@@bagpusslxv4858 I so agree!

[@thefairyqueen369]

I loved every track on this album and still do! They make my all-time top 10! James' voices is stunning! Their lyrics are poetry to me and they inspired me to write my own poetry and that lead guitar just sublime.

[@scootermannn]

20 years later, this CD is the (!) most prized of my music collection. Jocelyn Square and Avalanche are true favorites of mine.

[@gordonpadua9515]

Oh MGD , i was in New Zealand when I first heard Hallelujah Man and I was hooked and bought the album/cassette, and listen to it to this day. I love avalanche,such an amazing album and such an under appreciated band. If you read this James , It still is the music that gets to my heart.I played in the car in and my girls will always remember " shes like a mermaid , stuck in the dungeon of a sunken ship" xxx

[@ОхотникСебастьян-м6ж]

Hi from 2023)

[@gustavoargibay1115]

Jocelyn Square, Halleluiah Man and Strange Kind of Love from Love And Money represents the pinnacle of my music experience of more than 40 years listening (loving) music. Top Quality in every aspect, composition, arrangements, playing performance, rythm, great recording and mixdown, the voice of James Grant so clear, so tuned, so perfect... the most inspired guitar solos are here too. Every sound selected is pure genius like the snare drum and or the bass drum ... this stopped to seems strange to me when i realized that Jeff Porcaro played the drums. Halleluiah Man is one of the all time best albums ever. Love and Money is one of the most underrated bands in the music history. Cheers.-

[@gustavoargibay1115]

+Stephen Kent Thanks for your words. You make me feel less lonely in my tastes.

Couldn't agree more with you Sir. Amazing music in all aspects.

[@andymurph3394]

it took me 30 years to find this song I remember it in 1989 nobody else remember it what a brilliant song its a pity the band were so underrated the song is as good as i remember

[@seansinclair3023]

I bought the album when it was released. Nothing musically for me has come close ever since. Its like a the peak of a mountain nothing can match... Play it at least twice a week 😁

[@rayzerbst486]

After hearing this album I wrote to the band asking if they had any plans to tour Australia. I got a reply from James Grant which shocked me but what he wrote shocked me even more. He said the band was battling to get a gig at the local pubs let alone touring anywhere. ??? Poor management or what. These guys should have been huge.

[@mariaginty4890]

Shocking. Nice to read your reply here. Amazing band.

[@jerrytahatravel]

Wow...shocking and very sad!☹️ They should've been huge in the music business! 🎸

Sensational band - Strange Kind of Love is an album which transcends expectations of what good music and talent are all about. Timeless brilliance where each song and musicality grab you by the roots of your senses and takes you to the house of sheer excellence. If I’m ever asked to go on “Desert Islands Discs” ( unlikely)’ I’m taking 2 copies of this in case I break one!

[@mariaginty4890]

I agree ❤

[@olwynnsay237]

I was thinking the exact same thing about Desert Island Discs. 😂

[@havanakim]

My first track on the desert island list! Makes me think of a girl then and makes me cry 'Still think about her' but never hated her guts.

Wow! Powerful statement. All the very best to you.

“Tutti ricordi che fioriscono e sbocciano Nella pallida ora di Endimione Dipingono un ritratto di te Troppo bello per essere vero E odio me stesso perché desidero, perché mi manchi Bacio la tua anima Tutte le cose che una volta alimentavano il mio appetito Adesso mi prosciugano, prosciugano Inseguendo arcobaleni e lucciole Per guardarle svanire via davanti ai miei occhi” Sara 11/08/2020 ❤ La ascolto e non faccio altro che pensare a te, ai ricordi, alle emozioni che mi hai donato… ti rivoglio nella mia vita e voglio che sia per sempre stavolta… Ho un ultimo desiderio ossia quello di riconquistarti… oggi come ieri!
