Underrated! I got this for free with the purchase of another record. Sounds great even though it looks a bit scratched up.
Side B is my favorite, specifically A Taste of Passion.

An excellent mix and mastering. Considering the density of the music, the instruments are well defined and well placed even though the drums are a little more to the front than I prefer. Nice pressing… flat and quiet.

Great pressing. Side B absolutely mogs side A (which isn't bad either).

My mint copy of this press sounds amazing. Everything is really nice and clear on my system, even inner grooves sound amazing! Well worth the two whole dollars this press goes for.

Tomorrow or next week, whenever you're at the record store next, and you ultimately see a copy of this in the dollar bin (probably in nm-), buy it.

Love this original US vinyl record pressing. I purchased this used and the vinyl condition was ok so it is not mint. However, the sound quality is still very very good.

A typical Jazz-Rock album of its time. Not very exciting, but nice to listen to. Interesting about some of the songs is that the acoustic stage is almost twisted: the drums play in front, the other instruments behind. At first I thought my equipment was broken and so I listened to the streaming version to check it.

There is a promo version of this with a massive PROMO Sticker which takes up 10 percent of the front cover...
