Are You Ready for Love Reviews:
WHY....GOD WHY??? 
2003-09-30 - I can't believe that this song came on the top of the list and his great "Original Sin" single from 2002 didn't even reach top 20. This song isn't disaster, but it is one of his weakest and it isn't even Elton's composition. If you wanna this song, buy then "Complete Thom Bell Sessions" album. There is also "Three way Love Affair" on it.
This is sweet repetitive disco song with too much sugar on it. Not disaster, but certanly not one of his best at all.
More Info 
2003-09-20 - Everyone should note that the full-length version of Are You Ready for Love on this new CD is the original 1979 mix of the song. The version that is on the Thom Bell Sessions CD is NOT the same version. It is a 1989 remix of the song and is noticably different in parts, especially in the final 4 minutes or so of the song. I prefer this original version and up to now have only had it on the original 12" vinyl release from 1979.
Heads Up...
2003-09-19 - Anyone interested in purchasing this import single at the import price should be advised that this 8+ minute version appears on John's CD The Complete Thom Bell Sessions, as does "Three Way Love Affair". I already had this CD in my library but was not aware of its inclusion before making this purchase. For $9.98 you can own an entire album, compared to the $11.99 import price of this CD-Single. This song isn't even one of his best. However, The Complete... also includes "Mama Can't Buy You Love, which make that CD's purchase worth the ten bucks.
