Summary: Stunning 2nd release of The Crusaders
Comment: Amazing 2nd release of the group formerly known as The Jazz Crusaders. Every song is great. Funk, jazz, gospel, soul etc. all mixed together into a masterpiece of this genre that later morphed into the ubiquitous "Smooth Jazz" of the last few decades. Crusaders 1 also highly recommended.

Summary: good news bad news
Comment: The good news is that the CD was mastered in such a way that some of the hotter trombone notes that practically bounced the stylus off the original record are tamed down. They now fit in a signal that is well reproduced off the CD.The bad news is that some material is missing on the last track. The intro and the wandering ending of the last song (Do You Remember When) is gone. This totally changes the mood of the album since it has a flow and the end of the story is deleted.
You should also know that the album sounds different than it did on LP. As I stated first this is not clearly a bad thing. The LP had it's own set of problems.
Since I have the original LP I'm not too worried about it. I'm having second thoughts about CDs but am being fair.
