• A stunning "Triple Triple" copy of this original Atlantic Green and Blue label LP with Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound throughout
• These original pressings can be amazing - they give Aretha's voice a Tubey Magical relaxed quality that's simply not on the reissues, as good as they may be in other ways
• Exceptionally QUIET vinyl for an original stereo pressing - Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus, as quiet an early copy as we have ever heard
• 4 1/2 stars: "... this still caught Aretha Franklin at the peak of her early form. Think, I Say a Little Prayer, See Saw, and I Can’t See Myself Leaving You were all big hits."

• Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound or close to it on both sides making this one of the best copies to hit the site in years
• The overall sound here is incredibly rich, full and Tubey Magical with excellent clarity and a wonderfully extended top end
• A tough album to find without condition issues - Aretha's records from this period are amazingly good and far too many of them got played hard
• "Her vocals are consistently passionate and first-rate... as is the musicianship."

• Superb sound throughout for this classic live Aretha album with each side rating a solid Double Plus (A++) - exceptionally quiet vinyl too, some of the quietest vinyl we've ever heard for this title
• Aretha's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water is truly amazing, but really, there's not a weak track here - her covers of current material take those songs to another level entirely
• 4 1/2 stars: "The music here sparkles and crackles with the energy of a top-flight rhythm section — Cornell Dupree on guitar, Bernard Purdie on drums, and Jerry Jemmott on bass, with Billy Preston on organ, Curtis on saxophone, and the Memphis Horns... the most dramatic and deeply satisfying of Aretha Franklin's live recordings, and is a historical document that every soul fan should own..."

On the better copies Aretha's vocals are as dynamic as any you will ever hear, and unlike all the records she did with Tom Dowd, her voice never breaks up on this record. If you have big speakers that can play at loud levels, with the right volume level you can really get Aretha to belt it out like nothing you have ever heard.
