    Great pressing. My copy has had some rough treatment but still sounds amazing. Many nice deep cuts, guitar on Minstrel Gigolo a highlight.

      Got this for just 1 €. Surprised by the sound (all songs digitally recorded), the musicianship and the songs in general.
      Recommended if you are into the "West coast" and "Yacht Rock" sound.

        I have both Japan & US pressings of this album, however this German pressing is by far the best. Super-clean vinyl - better than the Japan copy, with extremely balanced / polite mastering.

          I bought this after watching the Professor or Rock talk about this album on YouTube and i stared looking for it, so when i found it for a reasonable £7 i was very happy, and to say i got a great copy is an understatement, this album sounds so good, you can just put it on for back ground and there is not a bad song at all, go grab a copy for a good rice.
