Posted Tuesday, December 23, 2025 by J.B. I grew up listening to this album. A lot. As good as the 1995 Avenue Gold Collection (24K gold) CD was, this one is far superior. Detail and spectral balance are both excellent, without being at all edgy-sounding. Very natural and reminiscent of the original 1976 UA vinyl (which I still have a NM copy of). In fact, something in the vocal detail on "Why Can't We Be Friends?" I never picked up on before caught my attention on the first listen of this SACD. Very highly recommended!

Posted Wednesday, January 29, 2025 by Dan Those that remember this older album know it's a gem by an amazing trio. Not one bad song on it some are fantastic. This pressing is dead quiet and the cover high quality. Clearly a well done issue. Pro; Great music! Highly recommended LP. Con; This LP was not well recorded/mixed in places.

Posted Tuesday, July 20, 2021 by Anonymous It's easy to understand the influences this band operated under with just a single listen. Most of this music was in heavy rotation on boom boxes, car stereos and turntables when I was a teenager, so it already carries a nostalgic value to it. Moving past that, however, these songs and the music (quirky sounding as it may be upon first blush) are solid portions of heavy funk that challenge you to sit still in any capacity while listening to them. The collection rightly opens with "More Bounce to the Ounce" and doesn't let up or disappoint. Some reviews I have read take sole exception with the quality of the Zapp medley, and that is fair. It could have been done a bit better. The rest of the record is well worth the money spent, even excluding the cool looking vinyl and the colorful and glossy gatefold of the cover. If you want to peer into late 70's/mid to late 80's funk that packs a true punch, this is your jam.
