referencing Musical Massage (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) B0032476-01
My copy is also not too flat but sounds incredible--quiet, no distortion, ample dynamics and space. The only issue is the artwork which seems to be a descreened scan judging from the blurriness. There's also a mistake on the back cover where seems like the original sleeve was not kept still during scanning, so the credits text got bent.- Edited 9 months ago

My copy is not perfectly flat but it sounds remarkably good. There is so much going on musically, with these multiple voices and spectacular arrangements, it could be overwhelming. Yet this pressing makes the album a hugely enjoyable listen from start to finish. I did not know Leon Ware’s music before, it is a very rewarding discovery to my ears. referencing Musical Massage (LP, Album) STML 12050
Definitely one of the best soul Lp’s ever and Motown’s best slow burner- Edited one year agoMy local record store is so dumb for basically giving this album away for free ($1.99) due to a some minor sounding crackles. This pressing is so well done that I don’t even care lol. Great music! Get a copy if you can find one!

Next level record. Beautiful vocals, production, and arrangement. Never falls into schmaltz, grooves like mad, and always sexy as. 10/10 without doubt. Buy on sight.referencing Musical Massage (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) B0032476-01
Holy smokes.
stunning production and orchestration.
Crisp sound and wide soundstage.
Flawless pressing from VMP.referencing Musical Massage (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) B0032476-01
After one disappointing copy, I finally got my hands on one that sounds as it should; smooth yet defined.
Definitely worth the $30 and change, and in my opinion, the extra hassle as well.
The laminated tip-on was a nice touch.- great sound better than the 2016 colored repress +all the unreleased tracks some with Minnie Riperton
big deal - Quite possibly Leon Ware's best album!
And this wonderful re-issue is just perfect! It looks (from the wonderful cover and perfect inner sleeve to the georgious brown vinyl) - and sounds amazing! referencing Musical Massage (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) B0032476-01
Smooth. As. Butter. Sexy and funky. I think it sounds superb. Not sure what a couple of the reviews are talking about saying it is a bore because that is not the case here. Balanced and present. Great sound. A clean and crisp needle glide through the grooves. I dig! The cover is pretty nice too!
