Celebrating 50 years of Philadelphia International Records, Love Is The Message contains eight albums on CD and an exclusive 12" vinyl disc, all luxuriously presented with a booklet telling the story of how this iconic label evolved in Philadelphia to become truly international. All the music here is remastered from the original master tapes courtesy of Sony Music and Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff who have been personally involved in these landmark anniversary collections. Love Is The Message follows two previous releases Get On Board The Soul Train and Satisfaction Guaranteed. The start of this collection continues from where the second edition left off, through 1973 to the early releases of 1975. The set is rounded off with an exclusive 12" single featuring two of the most recognizable Philly tunes; MFSB feat. The Three Degrees's 'T.S.O.P.' and the fantastic 'Stop And Think' by The Trammps.
