    Picked up a used copy and although there are some expected cracks and pops, this record sounds incredibly punchy and vibrant.

    Classic 80s album from the cover to the music, can’t beat this.

      Janet knocked it out of the park. Her best record, with some amazing singles, danceable grooves, and layered instrumentation to satisfy any listener.

      This pressing sounds great, lots of stereo detail and good dynamics. Super quiet vinyl.

      Four stars. Recommended.

        Killer pressing. Very quiet. Brian Gardner nails this one. Highly recommend this pressing.
