Just a heads up...

The other day I preordered Aretha Franklin's 1968 album 'Lady Soul' on vinyl for £16.80

It's a Rhino release mixed using the original analogue tapes.

Their releases are really rather good and I had trouble getting the doors L.A woman, which was packaged using the original see through yellow cover and lp sleeve. Also taken from the original analogue masters. Sounded great.

Lady soul as i'm sure you all know is a cracking album and well worth the money.

They do sell well and become pricy pretty quickly.

It's release date is October 13th and you can get it from here.

IMHO no one has a better voice. I would like to get a good Aretha recording on CD but everything I have heard including 'Best of' is dire.

Try 'Soul '69' - I have this CD and it is a pretty good transfer with low levels and good dynamics.
