    I agree with jaffboy151 that this sounds great. However, the Side B on my copy is really off-centre.

      Great Sound for a picture disc...
      There's the usual picture disc roar in the background but you only ever notice that between tracks its a good loud pressing with clear vocals and highs (check out that Sax) along with lots of base. Orlake did a good job on this. RIP
