I'm a big Steve Winwood fan, and I have loved this album since I bought my first vinyl of it in 1980. I have been rebuilding my vinyl collection, and recently scored an excellent condition vinyl of the album. For whatever reason, I never bought it on CD before. Having gone back to a receiver in the same family as the one I first heard the album on, I was curious how the CD would sound. Huge disappointment! As was all too common the practice in the 1980s, masters of music recorded before the advent of compact disc were simply "dumped" onto digital with no work done to "correct" the sound for the medium. As a result, the sound is just awful on a 1975 Pioneer receiver. Even played back on my computer, it sounded pretty dreadful but not as bad as on the stereo. I have no idea what it would sound like played on a car, or multichannel A/V or Home Theater system. (The tracks from AoAD included on the 1988 Greatest Hits compilation were "adjusted" but still sound bad for different reasons.) My advice is, if you have a high-end vintage system, get the vinyl and skip the digital.Read full review

This is a great example of Adult Contemporary music from the 1980's. 'While you see a chance' & 'Second hand woman' are especially good songs. This is a good addition to any music collection
this is an awesum album by steve winwood, the quality is good although not all of his well known songs are on this album it is still a good buy and i recommend it to anyone wanting to add steve winwood to their music
