      Really great sounding pressing just like others have stated, no complaints. (There is a screw-up on the design front on the right-hand side of the gatefold sleeve when you open it up, though that won't detract from the music, and anyway it's probably only something those who work/worked in design or publishing would notice.)

        This is such a beautiful pressing. Cherry on top was the paper poly lined inner sleeve.

        The pressing is dead quiet, and the noise floor is so low. They really took good care to do this album justice.

          Perhaps not Lonnies best known work but its right up there with the best stuff he recorded. I just love the vibe of this music and when i go away on holiday i fill up on Lonnies mid 70s music to fit the vibe of the sunny destinations i seek!
          So this is well overdue a reissue and its a good one, GZ media done it properly flat as can be zero non fills and damn near silent. A gatefold to boot! For less than 20 quid a no brainer guys

              Lonnie Liston Smith: “I have many songs about a similar idea - ‘Voodoo Woman’, ‘Space Lady’ & ‘The Enchantress’, ‘Goddess Of Love’… it was like dealing with the exotic and the mysterious side of a woman… most of these had funky grooves, except for ‘Starlight And You’ that was a more romantic ballad… At that time, everything was much more free like than now, the whole atmosphere…” (interview excerpt for Electronic Standards)
