Buyer Beware!

"Yes this is one of the best, if not THE best, of Felas recordings. Why then have I only given it one star? For the simple reason that this Terrascape CD is, unless they have corrected their blunder, an absolute travesty. Why? Because, at least on my copy, purchased some 6 years ago, every single sax solo has been virtually eliminated from the mix. You can still here it way off in the distance but this, and I have the original vinyl to compare with, is NOT the original mix. I have played this CD on many different systems and the fault is definitely there. Be very careful before you buy this CD."

Not stereo if it was made in portugal

"I have the lp, and its sounds better than the cd made in portugal( I buyed it too). Is monophonic ,only you can heard one channel, because of that you cant heard the sax solo and others.

Despite that: what a record!!!!!!!!."

The True Stereo Version!

"The CD with the black and white cover and bonus "Drum Solo" track, on Universal/MCA from 2001, is the actual stereo version. Beware of the 1996 Portugal pressing with only four tracks and color cover-- it contains the right channel only in mono across both channels, which is very frustrating to listen to, especially when there's a sax solo and all you can hear is distant reverb."
