My pressing has terrible vocal distortion throughout halftime and represent. Thankfully the rest of the tracks are clean however the mix has the backing vocals and ad-libs unnecessarily loud throughout the whole album.
-
Someone who owns this (I do not) should fix the Discogs listing to remove "40 Side North" and "41 Side South" names of the two LP sides because, if the label images are to be believed, those names are replaced here by simply "1" and "2".
