Reviews
- Aside from a bit of noise at the beginning of each side this is a truly amazing cut. The separation of the instruments is incredible. Best I have ever heard this album
- Credits are wrong - obviously copied and pasted from another - Lacquer not cut by HL, but as stated, AAA, by Frank Merritt at the Carvery, London. Great Gatefold Sleeve (tip on!?)
Sounds Impressive! BUY 
This is a dope, the artwork is lovely.
My pressing sounds fantastic.
Technics 1200 MK3, (custom),
Ortofon Concorde Club MK2,
Rane TTM 56,
Focal Studio Monitors.
Erm it's all gravy fam.
Highly Recommend.- Damn this sounds great. What an amazing pressing. They did a hell of a job.
Edited 3 months agoACE records UK will reissue on vinyl this all analogue -AAA- March 28 2025: https://www.acerecords.co.uk/expansions-2
Pretty strange that Cecil McBee doesn’t get a credit on the Discogs listing,I mean come on !!!
Joyful, spiritual, funky, trippy, singular. I'm of the opinion that every record collection needs (at least) one Lonnie Liston Smith LP, and I think this one (when factoring in price and availability) is probably the best one to start with. It doesn't hurt that this pressing is also cut beautifully. Just a winner all around.- A very clean and quiet pressing in beautiful yellow transparent vinyl. The remaster shows a very wide sound stage.
great pressing, no clicks, no crackling or whatsoever. ten words
My copy sound good. Just a few light clicks on the first track of side 1.
