No, we didn't. We appreciated all the fabulous music back in the day!.

I met them once at a nightclub venue in Manchester, they'd just performed "Going Back To My Roots" I got to meet them after the show and they we're the loveliest people. The two women looked just as gorgeous in the flesh as they do on here, especially the one in the red dress, she was absolutely captivating. All these years later I still have my signed photograph in it's little frame. Happy Times.

Listen closely to the bass lines, rhythm tracks/arrangements and notice that they are the exact same found in Slave's, "Watching You"(Stone Jam LP) Not a complaint, that was one of the baddest albums of that era and, IMO, of the century. I like what's been done with them here with Odyssey, as well. Beautiful women, btw.

Sandy Anderson passed away from the effects of the Corona virus. We were in a band together during my HS days. He then formed the band Unlimited Touch. A funky, disco band that had a couple hits on the R&B charts in the early 80's. He was also involved in the controversy of who played bass on the Odyssey hit, Inside Out. Many thought it was Mark Adams from the funk band, Slave. It was Sandy as confirmed to me by himself, the producer and keyboardist on the track.

Man.... songs like this brings back memories of the good ole' days. Odyssey was one of those groups that hit the disco era in the 70's and had that great nostalgia song "Native New Yorker". Then they came back in 82' with the Steve Arrington sound from the group Slave....Inside out, miss those smooth cuts. A treasure to listen to.....always.

I remember Odyssey SO fondly; they’d go some time and you’d hear nothing of them, and then all of a sudden out of the blue they’d have a massive huge top five hit! ‘Classy’ group - that both sounded and looked good!

Such a great classic record, with such a DEEP message in the lyrics. She wants be inside out!

I loved this group back in the day. I didn't realize they were such polished performers. "Native New Yorker" was such an atmospheric, sophisticated record you could almost see the lights of Broadway, but I also bought this single, which sounds funkier and better here.

Truly magical. Gives me a feeling of melancholy. I really do adore this song. Reached No 3 in the UK. Are you seriously telling me there were two better records out that week ?

I remember when this was out music at its best those were good days

Odyssey seemed to transform themselves with every single: the world-weary elegance of their first hit, 'Native New Yorker', gave way to the resigned despair of 'If You’re Looking for a Way Out'; the Caribbean dancefloor celebration of 'Use it Up and Wear it Out was followed by the triumphant nostalgia of 'Going Back to My Roots' and finally to this, the bleakest and most disturbing of their singles, the magnificent 'Inside Out'.

That bass line! Great 🎶 music.
