4.0 out of 5 stars Let's Add On The Way Back Home, January 24, 2006

I'll agree with the other reviewers that the album is too short. I've always loved On The Way Back Home. The song is on my iPod and songs don't get on my iPod lightly. I'd Be So Happy is also on my iPod. So, along with the three hits and these additional two songs, Hard Labor has five great tunes. That's better than most albums. So in my book the math adds up to justify 4 stars.

The sound on CD could be better. The album always had a flat sound and the CD isn't much better.

Hard Labor does have the full length "The Show Must Go On" which clocks in over a minute longer than the 45 version on all other Three Dog Night CD's. The only other place that I know of where the full length version of The Show Must Go On appears was on the 8-track tape of 3 Dog Night's Greatest Hits.

I remember this album very well,because i was in the 7th. grade when it came out,playing songs on the juke-box 1-10 or 3-25 cents and the old fashion pinball machines b.4. the age of computers when things were so simple and american cars were still kings of the hiways of america and the nixon/ford years i guess that,that makes me now one of the older people to have had great visions of the days past, it makes me sad that most all oldie/pop stations dont play any of the 3 tracks of this album anymore its the same old/same old stuff which i've been sick of hearing for many years now with the execption of out in the country,please radio people play this album again, and its the same way with brownsville station playing only on of cubbies songs/smokin in the boys room/ they had lots more songs other than just that one....radio people get with the program please....tonylfriend...

I thought this was a strong album for Three Dog Night. It produced 3 hit singles: The Show Must Go On, Sure As I'm Sittin' Here, and Play Something Sweet. I also thought Put Out The Light and Sittin In Limbo were very good. Though it was kind of lite on the number of songs for an album, it really only has 8 songs when most albums at the time included 10 or more.
