  • Splatter Vinyl Sound Upgrade

    5 out of 5 stars
    vixluhdDecember 3, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Alright, it's Friday Music so I get why you might be a tad doubtful. But let me tell you, this one's fantastic! The splatter vinyl is super flat and barely makes a sound. Plus, the EQ on this record's been adjusted just right, making the soundstage feel fuller and Stanley's bass lines stand out more in the mix compared to my original pressing. But don't worry, it's not over the top. Definitely a solid upgrade!

  • Stanley Clarke's Early Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Ziiwh32November 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Must-have early work from the incredible Stanley Clarke. The second-hand version I have has some background hiss and a couple of pops, but the tunes are still amazing.

    This album sounds absolutely amazing! Every detail is so crisp and impactful. Plus, the musicianship is pure 70's fusion at its finest. And let's not forget, Ken Scott co-produced it!
