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!
