The follow-up to SYMBOL OF REALITY has some killer grooves, including "My Thoughts", "Fling It Gimme", "Freedom Train" and "After You". This Omnivore reissue is a lovely pressing, rich, deep, warm and pure sounding, with an organic and immersive soundstage. Along with SOCIAL LIVING by Burning Spear, this is one of the best sounding roots albums I've heard on vinyl. As mentioned in another comment, the spine label erroneously titles this FULL TIME, but the rest of the gatefold package is extremely well done. My copy plays like new, flat and quiet, nice and clean, with no noticeable surface noise. -
There is an error on the side of the sleeve. It says "Full Time" there, which is the name of another Gladiators album.
