Parliament ‎– Mothership Connection

A very 80s sounding cut of this funk classic which may not be to everyone's taste. Unlike the bassier cuts of the original engineer Allen Zentz, this reissue has a LOT of top end detail. I actually like the sound overall, even if it's slightly anachronistic.

I love this reissue! I think it sounds amazing, especially from what I remember from my original pressing from 1975. Certainly my audio system is light years better than what I had back then. Why look for an original from 1975 and pay triple the price? Seems cra-cra to me......

I was only able to hear Side B of "The Mothership Connection", which had my antennas more in tune than years earlier when I came across a copy of "The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein". The intro of "Supergroovalistic..." transcends time and is instantly ear catching. "Handcuffs" holds the discs catchiest hook until the infamous "Give Up The Funk" starts up which provides no more than audio bliss, leading to the "Thumpasarous" outro which caps off a ride on The Mothership, showing a hip-hop purist like me that the funk can be enjoyed without a "G", just maybe only in small quantities.

Another pristine copy of this pressing found in London Ontario. Mine has zero warping or damage. Sounds awesome.
Sidenote: The 3D cover is removable, held on with two 'dabs' of stretchy glue that don't leave gunk on the regular non-3D album artwork when you remove the plastic 3D cover.

I appear to be fortunate, ordered a copy from the US and it’s just arrived, sounds good and looks good too. No issue with warping or scuffing.

This is actually a Japanese reissue from 1980. Released around the time of Trombipulation.

I bought this record from two different retailers and both times the record has had scratches and horrible scuffing from sleeve wear right out of the packAge. It's a shame cuz the record itself sounds amazing horns are sharp and bass is deep, hopefully one day I will find a copy that doesn't oo like it was used as a hockey puck

Is it the light from the photograph, but my labels are alot darker blue. Is it the same or different version?

I suggest to list this as a promo, not as a test pressing.
