If you don't know Bobby Reed's The Time Is Right For Love you might be familiar with the song as St Etienne sampled it heavily on Spring.
It's included on the Soul Spectrum Vol 2 album, which is about to be reissued.
The b-side, also from the pens of the mighty Van McCoy/Joe Cobb partnership (isn't it about time they had a career retrospective? It would be quite a compilation), If I Don't Love You, is almost as strong as the superlative a-side. It isn't getting the reissue treatment, so I've uploaded it.
