This albums is one of the best of the golden era! Good dynamic press but there is some pops, haven't cleaned it tho
Great CD reissue. Unfortunately the track listing of the bonus cuts is incorrect. Switch the My Philosophy with the I'm #1 tracks.
This one is also an very good upgrade in sound quality. Compared to the 1988 releases they did a good job with the remastering. Together with the extra tracks this is also a recommended release.
