    What a Treat! The production is lush, the stereo soundstage is 3-D and considered. A nice quiet pressing with surface noise being absent to my Ears. The music has a theme but isn’t predictable and the electric keyboards and wacka-wacka rhythm guitar anchor it firmly in the early 1970’s, no bad thing. Compared to a lot of the MFP Geoff Love albums, this is a diamond amongst the cubic zirconia.
    I dig it.

      I found a sealed UK copy of this today it is the 2 box EMI, in a og inner sleeve, but this copy has odeon gold stickers over the columbia logo on both sides and on the rear of the sleeve, everything else matches this version.

        Superb, killer breaks, what more can I say. The epitome of funk.
