This is a good fucking album. Eric Gale is a helluva good guitarist. I actually sampled this album for my rappins. But CTI albums are fantastic. The compression they had made em super fucking clean.

Also, when Columbia effectively put CTI out of business, they tried to replicate much of the Creed Taylor magic and completely failed. That said, some of the best albums #Bobjames made after CTI were effectively #Ericgale albums! There, I said it.
