    This is a great sounding record, the vinyl has no surface noise and the recording/ mastering is great. The bass is nicely placed more up front, due to Robert Gordon playing. Overall recommendation this album to any funk music & Gil Scott Heron fan. Jazz Funk at it’s best. A+

      A nice pressing, pleasing to listen to. Low noise floor, and very clear dynamics. Punchy percussions, just like I want my funk.
