Glad I waited for this OG pressing. It sounds amazing. I can’t believe this LP is almost 50 years old. Love the soundstage and separation. Truly essential addition to my collection. A must have for lovers of Ramsey Lewis and EWF

Gemini Rising is incredible. Pick this up. Unsung classic album.
DenverDude Dec 14, 2019
Great pressing. Wide soundstage and amazing dynamics. If you can find this version, it is worth the small price, because the music is excellent.
