Billy Cobham's Spectrum

How is the original on vinyl and are there any reissues, analog or digital, of this album?

I have the CD, Atlantic 7268-2, and it's just okay.

Thanks in advance.

I still have the original U.S. pressing (LP)on Atlantic from mid 70's... best sound IMHO... I also have a German pressing which is clean, but lacks some minute spacial details and sense of image depth. Get an old Atlantic pressing if you can find one.. the cover will be beat up most likely.

I've been a fan for decades but never knew all that! sounds all too familiar though, I've had some dealings and run-ins with rock musicians and their egos that really left me with a bad taste in my mouth... 'snoozefest' right! the next GRP album "Picture This" falls into that category.. a definate step down from Power Play.
