My copy recently bought from US Amazon isn’t listed here yet, but sounds and plays excellent. If you’re looking for an excellent sounding pressing for around $25, get it. -
I adore this album, however, the "Cold Blooded"(1983) & "Glow" (1985) albums are musically on par with this one, they just didn't cross over into top 40, but then again, Rick was a r & b/funk artist, not really a pop artist, regardless of "Street Songs" crossing over at the time.

I just love the boots that Rick James is wearing on the front cover of this album. My mam, she has a pair like them, but she never ever wears them. She also does not know that I know she has them, so please, do not tell her. Because I found them one day, hidden at the bottom of her wardrobe, along with a bullwhip and two pairs of handcuffs. It was very odd!! -
This is one seriously cool album ! Great vocal amazing bass . The sound quality is fantastic !!
