The sound quality of these original pressings strongly outperform the later represses that are rumored to have been “remastered” from YouTube before being reissued on vinyl, resulting in an immense loss of acoustic detail, fullness, and warmth. We hope listeners are provided with an experience close to how the music was originally intended by the artists and producers. We are still searching for an EMI Nigerian copy to compare and contrast the two 1970s pressings. The center label and back side of the album cover are the two noticeable differences without listening to the record itself. Please contact us if you have a copy, or are in any way affiliated with EMI. Hopefully the original masters have not disappeared. **This recording was taken from the Pathé pressing. No remastering, sound editing or cleaning has been done to this audio recording. The music within the video is independently recorded directly from the record through professional studio equipment rather than the camera’s microphones. We have muted the video's audio while music from the record is playing, but have included it in other parts for a fuller experience. For best results, we suggest the use of over-ear closed headphones or a Hi-Fi system of your liking. Enjoy! Please leave us a comment how you would like to see us improve these videos.
