    Curious about the quality of the reissue too, clips I've heard on YouTube from original sounds very... toppy? How's the new one sounding?

                This version deffinitely (c) 1979, 1980 (p) 1998. Was it ever previuosly released? I can't find anything to confirm this.
                Derfunkmeister my copy is no audiophile press but it sounds fine, plenty of "top" and not sounding like "played in a box". Nice deep & popping bass :-)

                  Was this really released in 1998? On Wikipedia it says it was 1979.

                    This is fantastic music but the pressing is very bad and sounds like being played in a box and the top isn't present. Don't know what happened here. Would love to get a better press.
