    I had this for several years and loved it.
    I was pleasantly surprised how well this Basic Replay pressing stands up to an original I recently sourced.

      This album is so good: the coolest, heaviest, grooviest, soulful dub. Both sides phenomenal. This is also an excellent pressing; superb mastering that delivers the huge bass and swirling echo that the man mix. Thank you Basic Channel.

        Mixed bin: Side A is Hudson in regular genius mode, B side unfortunately less so.
