@reubent    +1 Ramsey Lewis. What makes his music interesting is the difficulty in categorizing it into a specific genre. I hear Ray Charles/Herbie Hancock and a little Stevie Wonder in his later recordings. Sun Goddess(1974) might be a great starting point for this overlooked artist.

4x gatefold cover. Sounds great!

My other copy is a 1981 "Magno" reissue on Liberty.

Yeah, it opens up into a shield shape, might be a replica of the original UK United Artists gatefold but I'm not positive of that. And not that you asked, but I'm not really impressed with the sound. Big fan of Wilson's work but not this time. Sounds dynamically flat in comparison to my 2 American Atco pressings.

@middlemass I’d no idea they have a reissue with a gatefold cover - surely not the original? I love my original in almost mint condition. Is nothing sacred?!
