    The US pressing is better than the European one. Same issue with Aretha Franklin's Artista LP from the same year...

      What an Album, I was lucky enough to see him live at his only ever UK performance at the Jazz Cafe London. I met him after the concert, A moment tresured. RIP Kashif

        Played this lp to death in '83....kashif came to my attention via his production work on evelyn "champagne " king's monster hits from the early 1980's,i've been a fan ever since....this album was to some the blueprint to the level soul music needed to at in 1983....pure class from start to finish!! if we're talking levels,this was it back then...salute & r.i.e.p kashif

          A gem of an album. It's rare that every track on an LP is a winner especially back then. RIP
