    Mastering engineer Steve Hoffman says that the CD transfers are "all flat from the original tapes," and adds, "Dig the sound of 'I Got A Woman.' That is sure 'nuff right from the original full-track radio station master tape." You'll never need another version of Ray's seminal Atlantic R&B recordings.
