hate to say it, but this original mix on this pressing is terrible. thin, flat, muddy with no real dynamic or punch to it. dont get me wrong, this is an amazing LP with some incredible tunes, but the overall production sounds pretty bad.
never in my life did i think that i would ever endorse a modern revisionist remix or remaster, but if you really want to get your face melted off by this LP, get this version-

its a fairly different mix and even has a slightly different picture used on the cover, so it may as well be a completely different version. but it has to be heard to be believed. i know, youre thinking that i may be on the same drugs the band was on; saying something like that. but once you hear it, i think you'll agree.
PS- dont even bother with the CD version from the same era. it sounds even worse than the original LP, and theres about a 2 minute portion in the first track where the left channel completely drops out. but thats only the CD version. -
I bought this at a sale and I didn't check the inside and ended up with only the cover because the record inside was another title.
So, i"m looking to buy only the vinyl copy of this title, anyone has some spare? -
Edited 7 years agoMy copy is pressed at Terre Haute, but has a slightly different label configuration. The text to the right of the spindle hole is centered and ‘Produced by George Clinton’ appears there instead of under the track list.
