Well done! posted on 06/01/2025 5 Stars Steve Wilson nailed this remaster. The low end is punchy and full, Danny Seraphin's drums are killer, and the vocals are nicely imaged and clear. Highly recommend.

Fabulous remix posted on 04/11/2019 5 Stars Reviewer: randal habeeb Long time Chicago fan who has an original first pressing of this classic. It suffered from muddy production with a lack of dynamics. Although I am usually a champion of the original presentation, this remix is so good, I have a hard time listening to the original. Steve Wilson's remix reinvigorates the entire album. A tremendous effort and the one to buy.
