With the announcement of the incoming MoFi edition i pulled this out to re-evaluate it in preparation to hear if theres anything i think the MoFi should hope to improve on it. I jist sat and enyoyed this classic slice of funky disco soul from start to finish and everything about this press impresses.... the appropriately red vinyl, is pressed flat and quietly (Record Industry standard tbh) and the sound is fresh and crisp. If MoFi indeed get the original master tape and its in great shape and knowing its going to be cut at 45rpm theres no reason this cant be improved upon for bass extension, soundstage and dynamics. These are typical traits of cutting at 45rpm vs 33 but i would hope for a smoother richer and more natural presentation too. This pressing does the business and sounds bloody good but there is always the yearning for MORE and thats the name of this game along with human nature itself!

I'd always regretted not picking up one of the copies of this red-vinyl variant that HMV Newcastle had in its racks for a certain period of time for £13.99 (if memory serves) in 2019. It's nice to have now corrected that "historic" collecting error of mine, for a nice price (a bit higher than £13.99, but hey, inflation for everything has been crazy since then, LOL). Looks and sounds beautiful. -
Has anybody listened to one of these yet? Does it sound good? Is the sleeve well printed? And does it have a copy of the original cardboard inner-sleeve?
Thanks in advance
