Good pressing. This recording sounds very clean and tight. Audio quality is excellent. The loop of Chic's Good Times is lacking the highs but considering this was recording analog before the advent of digital drum pads, loops and digital recording software. So for what it is, this record is still very inventive and what a classic and historic recording to have in your record collection.
