- Twenty Six Years On

There are comments relating to the British release of this CD-single that miss a couple of points. This is a very different version of Are You Ready for Love than the one that is on The Complete Thom Bell Sessions. This is the version that appeared on the Thom Bell Sessions remix EP that sent Mama Can't Buy You Love into the top three.

Are You Ready for Love was always the best song from the sessions. And as good as this is, the album version, with the Spinners, is even better.

Who knows if America is ready for a pure Philly Soul disco track in 2003. But if any song is capable of hitting it big 26 years after it was recorded, this could be the one.

A great over-looked gem from Elton's recording career.

- Are You Ready For A Good CD?

This is a great song! Included with two versions of the song (1 edit), are another song, and a music video for the title song. While the music video is rather low compared to today's standards, the song itself is worth it, and the video is just icing on the cake.

- Are YOU ready for this song?

This is such an upbeat and great song. It's so happy and uplifting, and makes you want to sing and dance!! I love it and can't wait for it to come out here in North America!!!
