    Jaw dropping soundstage and dynamics!!! So dynamic I’m going to deem it a Hot Stamper!! Beats that you should check your pulse if your head isn’t bobbing. All the singing, synths, strings, saxes and sounds you expect from EWF. This album is a winner in all aspects!

      One of the best sounding vintage records. Very crisp. Some of the best vocal harmonies ever laid down too.

        Pretty close to a hot stamper. This LP snaps. Makes you want to get up and jump around like you did when EW&F first hit the airwaves.

          Probably my best sounding record. You can hear everything so well.
