A legendary album from one of the most soulful women to ever step up to a microphone. Everything about this record is perfect, from the sublime horn charts to the powerhouse rhythm section to Aretha's exuberant vocals. The covers of Sam Cooke's "Good Times" and "A Change Is Gonna Come" are definitive, right up there with his original recordings. This is an original 1967 stereo pressing, and it sounds really nice, with good range from top to bottom, excellent stereo separation, and a clear, spacious soundstage. My copy has gotten plenty of spins over the years, it's got some groove wear and light surface noise, but plays skip-free. -
Over the years, I've not experienced too much difficulty in getting hold of stereo pressed copies of many 1960s UK lp releases issued on many of the name labels of the period, including Atlantic.
However, persevere as I might, I've never on any occasion been able to come across an original 1967 UK stereo copy of Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You" released on Atlantic (cat. no: 588 066). I have not even had the opportunity to cast my eyes over a totally wrecked copy that no one else would ever want to buy. The mono pressing (587 066), on the other hand, has always been quite easy to find.
Why is this particular pressing of one of soul music's most seminal recordings so scarce and hard to find? Any advice welcome!
