    It was so hard to remove the Red Lp from the paper insert, which created so much static. Everything was good after a cleaning. I also store the album in a proper inner sleeve as well. Love the sound quality. Not like a Tone Poet pressing, but above average....8.0/10

      Unlike some of the other recent RSD releases from Gil Scott-Heron, this album sounds amazing. Don't know how the original pressings were mastered, but this one is worth grabbing.

        Sounds flawless, one of the best sounding records I own. If you love Gil and see this at a shop as leftover stock from RSD, buy it WITH CONFIDENCE!
        My only gripe is that the disc was quite hard to get out of the inner sleeve, which is apparently an issue with previous pressings by Culture Factory. Misprint on the label doesn’t bother me, although I do find it very funny that the Arista logo is edited off the label design.

          I wasn’t familiar with this particular GSH record, but I’m glad I took a gamble. The material is solid, funky, thought provoking, and nicely recorded. My pressing sounds great: flat, silent, and punchy. If you’re a GSH fan but don’t own this record, grab it while the price is reasonable.

            Late to the RSD party, but happened to see this album had been ed over, which is crazy. This is a terrific record: good pressing, excellent music. Agree with other reviews saying this is a solid pressing (and the misprint on the side B label is hilarious).

              Glad to have this and it’s an impressive pressing. A quick wipe down took care of some debris on the disc. Very shocked at how flimsy the jacket is.

                The LP sounds really good and is pressed flat and quiet (although I always clean records before I play them... even new LPs). The center label has a misprint, as it lists 'Fast Lane' on both Side 1 and Side 2. Other than that, this is a solid pressing of a great GSH album.
