Reviews
Edited 8 months agoGood Quality. My original pressing was in bad condition so I bought this when I saw it on clearance at Barnes & Noble.
It's a pretty solid pressing. Quality sound.
My only issue is that Mine is not 100% Crystal Clear. There's a huge blue stain on it, which means someone at the pressing plant accidentally got a very small amount of blue vinyl pellets mixed in with the clear ones. Thankfully, the sound isn't affected by it- Add this! Essential Aretha with production from Curtis Mayfield (much beloved release). The remastering is from the analog tapes - woderful presss.
Anyone ready to give an opinion on the sound quality of this pressing?
