This version sounds real good. You can play this loud and there is no distortion. I hear all the instruments and the mastering really rocks. I am super happy with this and surprised at the Wiki page for the album which describes a polarized tro press with several critics calling it their worst album. WTF? How is this possible? This might be one of-if not my favorite Funkadelic LP. Granted Sides 3 and 4 are not as strong as 1 and 2 but so many killer cuts. An acid-drenched funk rock masterpiece.

Nice press, everything sounds right and the vinyl is clean, flat and dead silent. The music is a loose concept album based on the state of America in 72, the lyrics and music are sometimes dark and inspirational but always soulful n funky… great album and pressing, definitely a buy!

AMERICA EATS ITS YOUNG is an adventurous, eclectic double LP highlighted by "If You Don't Like The Effects, Don't Produce The Cause", "Loose Booty", "I Call My Baby Pussycat" and "Wake Up". This pressing sounds really nice, with plenty of bass, pounding percussion, crunchy guitars, crisp, clear vocals and a vivid, full-bodied soundstage. My copy was purchased new and plays beautifully, with no surface noise noted.

Save for a couple of funky tracks here, I cannot get into this one. I miss Bernie's stanky moog lines, and there are too many country-ish flavored excursions here for me.

Love this. After years of listening to a rough copy, but still great, I was lucky enough to find a mint copy with the poster! Also in mint condition. I paid up, $40.00! Which I had only spent on a record twice before. Now it seems like a steal of a deal!
I never see the poster, got to frame mine.

Would anyone be able to comment on whether this version is a gatefold? Also, how does the pressing sound? Thanks.

Not very impressed. My other funkadelic represses sound so much fuller with detailed soundstage. This pressing sounds 1 dimensional and makes my system sound lousy. I even get this ringing sound which is not tolerable. This is the first 4Beart repress I've had.

Very good pressing overall with low surface noise and a solid, full sound. No warping or centering issues here.

My copy has disk A/B as a heavier weight, (maybe 180gram), and disk C/D as being lighter weight. All runout numbers match, except A/B has "mastercraft" written out, and C/D just has "Mc". Odd, does anyone know what might be going on?

I don't care, just happy to have a VG+ original Funkadelic that plays solidly.

If anyone has a poster insert for sale message please. Thanks
