Love Is Forever on St. Clair is made up of 12 songs from the '60s and '70s including classics by
Percy Sledge ("When a Man Loves a Woman"),
the Association ("Cherish") and
the Chi-Lites ("Oh Girl"). It is a pretty solid lineup of romantic songs on paper. On record it is a wash because all of the songs are here in their re-recorded versions. The originals would be too costly for a label like St. Clair to procure, so the next best thing is to round up a bunch of songs like
Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" and
Climax's "Precious and Few" that appear on quite a few other collections of lame re-recordings and hope nobody notices the difference. Anyone unlucky enough to pick up this disc should console themselves with the thought that a lot of other people made the same mistake, otherwise why would all these fly-by-night labels be putting out collections like these? Please avoid this disc and every other one like it.
