    It’s a great sounding record. Doesn’t sound as clear (i.e lacks a bit of presence) or as wide as some of my vintage jazz funk records or even my Acoustic Sounds/Tone Poet reissues. Other than the little muddiness - it packs a nice analog punch.

    I will most likely seek an original US pressing at some point but for now this is a good place holder.

      Sounds really great, my copy is in a wonderful state and as it is often the case with Japanese pressings, the quality of the materials are wonderful

        Bought a near mint copy last week because i read the positive comments below. And i must say that i’m not disappointed !! What a cool dynamic sound !! First wanted to buy the AP reissue, but i personally prefer to have an nm original Japanese copy.

          I have a near mint copy of this, it looks and sounds amazing. One downside is that it doesn't have an obi strip with it. Does anyone know if replacements are available please?

            Such an amazing pressing. Came across this pressing in a Japanese audio shop… looks great, like it was cut yesterday… sound is superb… very happy.

              This sounds unbelievably good. That is until you hear the new 45RPM cut by Ryan K Smith for Analogue Productions
