Prinna
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about this pressing, but I got a copy cheaply enough that it was worth it for the lenticular cover alone. Was pleasantly surprised to find the record itself was pristine. Not warped or scuffed at all, and it sounds amazing. DEEP bass, crisp horns, clear vocals. Ideally, you should probably pick this up at a shop where they’ll let you listen to it first... but there are definitely good copies of this pressing out there!

Another reissue that doesn't have the original 1975 Casablanca Bogart design label!

Small Black
I was only able to hear Side B of "The Mothership Connection", which had my antennas more in tune than years earlier when I came across a copy of "The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein". The intro of "Supergroovalistic..." transcends time and is instantly ear catching. "Handcuffs" holds the discs catchiest hook until the infamous "Give Up The Funk" starts up which provides no more than audio bliss, leading to the "Thumpasarous" outro which caps off a ride on The Mothership, showing a hip-hop purist like me that the funk can be enjoyed without a "G", just maybe only in small quantities.

Kearanny
Another pristine copy of this pressing found in London Ontario. Mine has zero warping or damage. Sounds awesome.
Sidenote: The 3D cover is removable, held on with two 'dabs' of stretchy glue that don't leave gunk on the regular non-3D album artwork when you remove the plastic 3D cover.

Simple
I appear to be fortunate, ordered a copy from the US and it’s just arrived, sounds good and looks good too. No issue with warping or scuffing.

showtime
I bought this record from two different retailers and both times the record has had scratches and horrible scuffing from sleeve wear right out of the packAge. It's a shame cuz the record itself sounds amazing horns are sharp and bass is deep, hopefully one day I will find a copy that doesn't oo like it was used as a hockey puck

Ballazan
Clean reissue!!!! The records looks, plays and sounds great! ????????????????

Darkshaper
If anyone is wondering if this sounds good, wonder no more. My copy is dead quiet, and the instrumentation is lush beyond belief. The bass in particular THUMPS (and I've only got a solid entry/mid-level set-up). No reason to chase down an OG copy in questionable condition for too much money when you can snag this and hear the album as good as ever. To the other review, more like a bad batch, not a bad pressing. Mine's as flat as a board.

Buzatus
Have ordered this version (3D cover) from three different online vendors. Every copy was warped and skipped, right out of the sleeve. Bad pressing.
