Thats a shame they just 'ripped' the vinyl, it would be nice to hear how much louder a modern re-mastering of this could be. At 20 years old its hard to believe the impact this record continues to have on electro and hiphop. Has anyone ever joined or tried to join the Eygptian Lover fanclub? The address continues to be listed on the LPs. Its probably a dead PO Box now, either that or someone in L.A. is getting a lot of weird fan mail.

Just picked up this CD today. I can totally hear that it's mastered from the vinyl LP. You can hear pops and clicks. Also, I prefer the original 12" mix of "Egyp, Egypt", "MY Beat Goes Boom", and "What is a DJ?" but then I knew they were going to sound different since I already own the vinyl LP! Still a landmark release in the roots of electro funk.
