THE O’JAYS were formed by five high school friends in 1958 who after
seeing Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers perform, were inspired to start a
vocal group. They spent time on various labels and released some fairly
successful singles on Imperial Records working with H.B. Barnum and also
Gamble & Huff, who were working as a production team for Neptune
Records.
· Neptune folded in 1971 leaving THE O’JAYS, now a trio, in somewhat of a
limbo. Having already captured the attention of Gamble & Huff, THE
O’JAYS became one of the first signings at the newly formed, now
legendary, Philadelphia International Records.
· BACKSTABBERS, released in 1972, was the album that made THE O’JAYS a
household name and begun a period of incredible success with Philadelphia
International, giving them close to 30 singles in the charts including a string
of #1 R&B hits helping them to become one the label’s biggest group and
also serving as a landmark of the classic Philly Soul sound.
· The title track was chosen for the first single and reached #5 on the US Pop
chart while giving THE O’JAYS a #1 R&B hit. LOVE TRAIN followed suit
and duly hit the top spot on the R&B charts as well as clinching the #1
position on the US Pop Chart.
· BBR is so very proud to present the first ever expanded edition of this
iconic Philly Soul album. BACK STABBERS has been lovingly re-mastered
and carefully repackaged in full-expanded form. Complete with extensive
liner notes featuring interviews along with added bonus content.
