This is one of those that should be available for a "nice price" but it's not. You have to overpay for a first generation CD transfer, which could be a needle drop, or go for original vinyl, which is even more overpriced. Plus it's always hard to go for vinyl when there is a CD available, but it's overpriced. I feel like I'm settling for vinyl in those cases and that's not why I buy vinyl. So, I'll be skipping this. Update (December 2025): Found a CD for a reasonable price, and even though it's first generation (Shanachie, 1989), it sounds pretty great, although one does have to turn it up a little. Definitely not a needle drop. I wonder if the 1997 CD reissue on Shanachie sounds any better or is mastered/remastered better? Probably the same as this. Anyway, upped a notch upon relistening several more times. Really nice, very early 1980s reggae album (originally released in 1981), with Sly & Robbie, and Chinna Smith on lead guitar. Sub-classic, but still essential for any fan of reggae of that prime era.
