Dan, you're right -- "Take No Prisoners" sounds like shit on CD. Actually all the 70s "binaural" stuff Reed was experimenting with after "Metal Machine Music" till he signed to Arista is necessary on vinyl.

I would really recommend anyone who likes hardcore punk or party funk to always go with the vinyl. The early EPs by Gang of Four (yellow jacket, between the first two albums), Rip Rig and Panic, Battalion of Saints, or the Dead Kennedys all sound insanely good with fat spread out grooves, as does "Street Songs" by Rick James and anything by or near the P-Funk tribe obviously.
