This was recorded for Andy Williams' Barnaby label. Some of the songs were released in the U.S. as singles on the Barnaby label, but the album was only released in Japan by CBS.
The album was only released in Japan and is hard to find. I have a digital transfer, but the sound quality is poor. The original LP sells on eBay, shipped from Japan, so the cost is pretty high.

Just another example of how the Osmonds were trying to copy the Cowsills and the Jackson 5 to break onto the record charts. This was originally on the Cowsills album "Captain Sad and His Ship of Fools" and is co-written by Bill and Bob Cowsill. It did not break into the "Hot 100" but the Jackson 5 clone "One Bad Apple" did. For sure the Osmonds were never as original as the Cowsills or the Jacksons!! Having said that, I have to say objectively that this is the best thing I ever heard the Osmonds do!!! Billy was, among many things, and excellent producer!!
The Osmonds, the Jackson 5 and the Cowsills were all talented families. Since this version was produced by Bill Cowsill, it is not surprising that it resembles the Cowsill's version. However, the instrumentals on this version (played by the Osmonds, not studio musicians) are superior. One Bad Apple was a #1 record and was, indeed, intended by the writer for the Jackson 5. However, Barry Gordy only allowed the Jacksons to record songs written and played by his Motown crew. By their third album, the Osmonds were writing, producing and playing their own marterial and had very little in common with either the Cowsills or the J5.
Not an example of THE OSMONDS "trying to copy the Cowsills" at all. Since the song was written by Bill & Bob Cowsill and Billy produced THE OSMONDS version it's naturally going to have a Cowsills sound. Bob told me his family watched The Osmond Brothers on the Andy Williams Show when they were very young and it helped the Cowsills improve their harmonizing. In turn, the Cowsills (Bob & Billy) worked with THE OSMONDS in the late 60's to find their rock voices. THE OSMONDS went on to sell over 100 MILLION Records and earn 40 Gold & Platinum RIAA Awards.

For reasons unknown this song and album are not on I-tunes.
Where can I hear the rest of this album?

Joe Comer The Osmonds were WAY more talented than the J5.
