      A fine album for the time, well arranged. A goldmine of samples and a lot of it is perfect soundtrack music. As an album of music, it feels pretty sterile. The funk is there, but it feels like a 70s go at The Meters with an updated, more electronic rhythm section and way less “sex”. This pressing is for a certain kind of collector. However, it is a great pressing and the music does come alive a lot more in it than in any streaming rendition. Can’t compare it to reissues: never bought one because I’m not a fan of the music, but had the original come through a shop I worked at and spin a couple of times. There is much better fusion/Jazz-funk/fusion-adjacent music from Western Europe in mid 70s, and for a much friendlier price tag. Don’t pile on me for being relatively apathetic to this band. It’s just one guy’s opinion, haha.

        Hi there,

          Hi, I have a copy here with a gatefold and the matrix numbers matching up on both sides of the record along with the number on the front/back cover. I bought this from a record store in London last year. I do believe this may be an original press. It's a gatefold cover also. Are there any other indicators to ?

          Thanks

            This is a rookie question, and I apologize in advance for asking. I've acquired this LP in a Flea Market in Berlin, how do I know if I'm in possession of the original release, or the counterfeit CBS (2) release? They're pretty much identical

              What's going on with the pricing of this band's albums?
              Were they released in such a low number that it justify such a cost for used copies!?

                Now, all the releases of this band deserves a high quality repressing, and they would have been flying of the shelves.
