    This vinyl press is amazing. The volume is by far the loudest among the vinyls I've bought so far. I was very surprised when I played it. I feel the cutting is impeccable. However, since the midrange is prominent, it’s important to note that it doesn’t have the warm sound typical of the 70s. The quality of the performance and the songs is also impeccable, and I especially love "Don't It Drive You Crazy," "I Need A Man," and "Waiting On You."
