The Jacksons [1976] - Living Together [Epic (CA)#8-50420]


This may surprise many!  "Living Together" by The Jacksons is only available on a Canadian 45 tucked away on the B side to "Dreamer", otherwise album only from "The Jacksons". It's from their mid 70s Philly period. 

"Living Together" was written by Dexter Wansel and reminds me of elements of Archie Bell & The Drells "Everybody Have A Good Time", which came out the same year, so I had a look to see if Wansel also wrote it but it was Bunny Sigler. 

"Dreamer" was written by Gamble & Huff and was only released as a promo in US but charted at #22 in UK (but didn't have "Living Together" on the flip before you rush out to find one!).

Prices are rising on this one now that the cat is out of the bag, so expect to pay upwards of  around £60 if/when one becomes available as there are currently none for sale on Discogs, or just buy the album for a few quid as there are plenty of those around!

Whilst we are here I may as well post a couple of other Jacksons tracks. "Blues Away" (written by Michael) was the flip side to "Show You The Way To Go" (so can be picked up for literally pennies) and was also on The Jacksons album. "Even Though You're Gone" (another Gamble & Huff composition) was a UK 45 only and charted just before "Blame It On The Boogie" in 1978.
