  • "Are You Ready for Love" is a song recorded by Elton John in 1977, and was first released in 1979 and re-released in 1982 on the EP The Thom Bell Sessions. It was written by Leroy Bell, Thom Bell and Casey James, and was originally produced by Thom Bell. While the song "Mama Can't Buy You Love" from the EP charted in 1979, this song and the other track on the three-track 12-inch vinyl disc, "Three Way Love Affair", were only minor footnotes at the time. In 1989, MCA released a 6-track CD, The Complete Thom Bell Sessions, which contained a different mix of "Are You Ready for Love" in place of the one that appeared on the original 1979 EP. (The original "Thom Bell Sessions" EP mix did, however, surface — along with the EP's other two original tracks — as a b-side to a UK CD-single of "The Last Song" in 1992, issued as Rocket/Phonogram EJSCB-30). In 2003, it was remixed by Ashley Beedle and released as a 12" vinyl single on 25 August 2003 and gave Elton a #1 hit in the UK Singles Chart on its first week of its 2003 re-release, due to its being featured in a television advertisement for Sky Sports promoting the new Premier League season of that year. It scored Elton his 5th UK No.1.. The 2003 single's B-side is "Three Way Love Affair" (from the original EP) and also the Full Length 1979 Version of "Are You Ready for Love". On some CD versions, the CD also contains a Quicktime version of a video for the song, with recording studio footage from 1977 with Elton recording his vocals. Various hit R&B vocalists of the late 1970s, including Bell & James, M.F.S.B. and The Spinners, contribute backing and accompanying lead vocals, most prominent on the Thom Bell Sessions mixes of the song, but downplayed somewhat in the 2003 single remix and its edits. In 1979, The Spinners also recorded a version of the song which didn't chart either side of the Atlantic. It is worthy of note that the Full Length 1979 Version and the Original Version the same length, however, the latter version is an ensemble recording of sorts. Various black R&B vocalists contribute to help Elton sing on each verse in the Original Version. This interplay of vocalists lends the Original Version a much more lively feel than all other versions. The single's B-side is "Three Way Love Affair" and also the Full Length 1979 Version of "Are You Ready for Love". The aforementioned Original Version is quite rare, and was only re-released in 2003 as a Promo.
