I have to agree with comments below. This is an incredible sounding pressing - lots of punch, huge dynamics, wide soundstage, and great separation and detail. No need for an audiophile re-issue of this one. Truly demo worthy!

I was working today and happened to play this album. I was BLOWN AWAY at how good it sounds. This is my new 'go-to' album when people come over and want to hear something. I'm amazed that a bargain-bin purchase sounds so much better than so many of the more expensive albums I own. -
Perfect album from Steve Winwood brilliant playing and sparkling production, with a host of guest musicians and legendary session players, his best album by a long chalk -
What's amazing about the vinyl release is that, even by today's standards, it sounds amazing... so good in fact that I would argue that a remaster isn't even necessary. This is one of the albums I use to demonstrate to vinyl naysayers why vinyl is (or at least can be) better than digital. -
Amazing comeback album from 1986. Back in those days almost every track on this album had some sort of airplay. Funny thing is looking back in Winwoods solo catalog most or should I say a majority of his major hits where written by Will Jennings or at the least a collaborative effort with Jennings. Really Jennings was the master mind composing the bulk of Winwoods famous hits. Nevertheless the production is spot on as amazing as the level of musicianship on the release.
