    Own it since it’s release. Heard it first the very first time today and I‘m stunned! Sounds incredibly good and the music is just like being 17 again. AMAZING!

      This grows on me. Really bummed that i didn’t buy it back in the day.

        Excellent pressing. Doesn’t hurt that Nile Rodgers and Don Was share producer the credits. Damn fine.

          ... "BOMBS!!".. best moment on the whole album is when Fred yells it during the breakdown section of Channel Z, he should have won a vocal Grammy for it, lol! Anyways this , the original european vinyl pressing, is the bomb! That's all I wanted to say... Oh what the hell, one more time!.. "BOMBS!!"

            The B-side on mine is missing the label, should I add a similar version with the mispress tag?
