This is one of those albums that is a masterpiece from the early 70's that holds right up there with some of Chicago's finest. If you like horns and and a touch of jazz in your music, don't hesitate to grab this one. Yes, I spent a minor fortune for the Japanese import, but it was worth it. The quality is the best I've heard for this album. The original Evolution records were kind of muffled and lacked much sonic range. So, if horn bands from the early 70's were your bliss, don't miss out on this one.
