Hey Steve, I also just received my copy of Groovin'. I listened to it today and my conclusion is that it totally sucks, probably the worst $60 I have ever spent. Thin, squelchy, and other than dead-center vocals, nothing good at all. Too bad, the music is quite good and brings back wonderful memories. I will be contacting Music Direct and requesting a full refund. I'll also contact MoFi and let them know my feelings. I have no problem spending $60 on a superior product. But this one is the worst, by far.
Other than that, everything is just groovin'
I put on Earl Klugh (a standard issue LP) after Groovin' just to be sure nothing had broken on my hi-fi system. It sounded wonderful!
I also have an early press copy of Wild Life. It's fairly good but I really like that album and would crave a superior copy. Please let me know how the 2021 remaster sounds. Thanks much.
