I purchased the original Dot Records LP upon its release. The stereo was (and still is) fantastic. I, personally, do not believe that the CD release quite captures the ambience of the LP because the mastering is not as good as it could be.Never mind. Mix a nice Martini (a Franklin extra-dry: 2 olives, 90-ml of Bombay gin, 7.5-ml of Vermouth), load your CD player, crank up the speakers, and settle in for a seat-in-your-pants ride.
