Rick James and his music is so valued, this album is spectacular, in the credits for the album, it lists, 'Hitsville' and that is what this album is.
-
The ONLY F'n US pressing that actually matches the frigg'n deadwax out of all his albums. GEEZ...! -
Edited 6 years agoWhat a great pressing. Great high end, tight low end, close, present, and full of killer songs. Everything a vinyl should be.
