Every US LP cited here has matrix as " ST-A-732895 - " etc on side one. My copy has side one with "96" (not 95) as: " ST-A-732896 - C AT PR " "PR" is upside down. Side Two is " ST-A-732895 -A AT PR "

One of the best FUSION albums ever made in my opinion! has some uber-agressive moments, displayed by the entire band, but particularly Cobham & Hammer.
The mellower moments are just as powerful.
Of note: It's quite apparent that Alex Van Halen took a lot of inspiration for his double bass drum riff on "Hot for Teacher" straight from Cobham's "Quadrant 4".
