      2023 pressing sounds ridiculous. Vinyl is really good, too. Wow.

        Nov 16, 2019 Update: Daptone sent a replacement record and it plays fine, so I must have just got a bum copy the first time.

        Original comment:
        Anyone have skipping on B2 towards the last minute or so? I bought it sealed from Daptone mail order and there's no visible dust or defect. It's maybe the 7th of 16 records I bought from them in their last sale and first one to have a problem. I plan to them but wondering if it's a known pressing defect.

        Update: Daptone said they're sending a replacement that doesn't have the skipping. I'll update when received.

          Magnificent album! Superbly produced by Bosco Mann and backed by the always amazing Dap-Kings. Sharon Jones' vocals are amazing as usual, in my opinion she is one of the greatest and most overlooked performers of our time.
