Well mastered for a Scorpio re-issue. Sounds clean, crisp, & full. Not sure what source was used, but was not a vinyl source.
Having said that, Side A on my copy is badly off-center, and Side B is not perfectly centered either. -
Don't have an original to compare it to, but this pressing sounds excellent. Great dynamics and low end. Highly recommend. -
Edited one year agoGreat cut by Dick Charles and pressing at Rainbo. I don't care if it's legit or not. It's been handled with respect and we're loving your music Don!!
Frequencies at the kick drum and slap bass end are FAT and thick, lovely. It has that 1981 type of top end a la Shalamar, Odyssey, Cameo...ie. not overly bright but crisp. To me that's authentic mastering.
Musically it's stunning with a distinctive and original approach to chord structure and harmonies.
Too sophisticated in places for some who like their funk to be straightforward. I LOVE IT. -

Edited 3 years agoMy copy does not sound really on point. Way too much crackles especially on slow jams, although I bought it sealed and the record is still like new. Do not buy this more than 30/40$ or you might be really dissapointed. Gladfully, most uptempo tracks still play great. -
Is this reissue legit? Surprised that something released as late as ‘98 doesn’t have a barcode -
