Another fun album from Bootsy Collins, with a stellar set of musicians laying down some funky grooves. This pressing sounds fine, there's plenty of bass and a thick sound stage. My copy plays with light surface noise at times, and a few louder pops. -
Edited 5 years agoMy mam's hunky toyboy Gavin had his 5-year old son (from another relationship) "Tristan" round a few nights ago, and he must have got his hands on this album while I was out at my Scouts meeting because when I got back, "Tristan" had detached the press-out Bootsy glasses and was dancing around the living room pretending he was Elton John!! Unfortunately, they are in a terrible state now. If anyone has a spare pair, please DM me, I have some good swaps!! -
It's Bootsy, therefore anything Bootsy auto 5 Star!!! May the Force Be with you has one of the best beats in the history of man.
