The UK version has to be the thinnest album and cover I have ever held. That being said it has a great and very dynamic sound.
-
This is a great funky, British blue-eyed soul groover of an album. If you like huge bass lines and 80s synth pop along the line of ABC and Thompson Twin, the snatch it up because it sounds fantastic. -
I have a few copies of this album. I do however have a vinyl copy signed by the original 4 of the band. How do I state this on my collection?
-
My world Machine pressing has two side 2’s
It’s a shame as missing great tracks from side 1.
Is this rare?
