    Incredible reissue of this fantastic album. It is like a funky CTI session with the arrangements. Great music, pressing, and presentation.

      This album sounds absolutely amazing. Mr Bongo records came out with another stellar reissue. Flat, silent and full of life.

        I really love those Mr Bongo releases. Always fantastic pressings of rare Groove records. This is no exception and 100% audiophile grade.

          Fantastic sounding reissue! I wasn't previously familiar with this one and was thrilled to hear that this is not only a great funk-jazz record but also a KILLER Steve Gadd session! And yes, the jacket is a beast. I use the same 13" sleeves I use for Tone Poets and those fit perfectly.

            Sounds great. Tough, heavy jacket (might be oversized for most sleeves actually). Big recommendation overall!
