Reviewer: Emmanuel First, A+ for the packaging on this record. Heavy cardboard stock gatefold, U.S. flag never looked cooler or limp depending on where you stand, politically. The music is of course first rate if you're familiar with this album. Since I don't own an original of this LP and have previously experienced it on CD I can't compare this reissue to any previous edition. That said, this virtually noise free reissue trumps the CD by like a thousand mile. No biggie there. One thing that stuck out to me though is how bright this record sounds. Being a pioneering funk record I was expecting some grimy funk sound especially with bass but this was not the case. This is where an original might have helpful, because I dare say that this record sounds like it's been antiseptically brightened up. I highly recommend this reissue with a grade of A-
