Limited 180gm gold vinyl LP pressing. The Love Affair was formed in 1967 and burst onto the UK charts in January 1968 when 'Everlasting Love' reached # 1. Featuring lead singer Steve Ellis' distinctive vocals, this was followed by four more Top 20 hits, three of which were Top 10, including 'Rainbow Valley' (# 5), 'A Day Without Love' (# 6) and 'Bringing On Back The Good Times' (# 9). Side One of this album features all five hits plus the single unreleased at the time, 'Time Hasn't Changed Us', after which Steve Ellis left the band. Side Two features six highlights from Steve Ellis' solo career, starting with two favorites by Ellis, the band he formed with Zoot Money, produced by Roger Daltrey. Next up are covers of Jimmy Webb's 'Evie', and also 'Rainy Night In Georgia'. Taken from Steve's 2018 album, 'Lonely No More' and 'Cry Me A River' both feature Paul Weller as co-writer, performer and co-producer. The inner sleeve features liner notes by Steve Ellis and photos and memorabilia from his own collection.
