  • Vinyl Sound Excellence

  • Aretha's 80s Peak

    4 out of 5 stars
    QmuduwDecember 14, 2025United States🇺🇸

    In this album, Aretha Franklin is at her peak during the '80s. It's a really strong record and sounds fantastic.

  • Warhol Reissue Must-Have

    5 out of 5 stars
    xhiisoqawvNovember 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This might just be the top reissue of this album. The artwork on this awesome "Warhol" cover is fantastic, and the "Warhol" sketch on the inner sleeve is just as impressive. Even as a "numbered" edition, it's still a steal. The "Green Vinyl" version, at least for me, makes it even more of a must-have. And let's not forget the guest appearances by Kieth Richards and Ron Wood!

  • Mixed Bag, Great Pressing

    4 out of 5 stars
    YxedLoqOOJune 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    While this release is a bit of a mixed bag and feels a tad out of order in places, it's a fantastic pressing with great mastering. The artwork is top-notch and comes with the original inner liner notes. If you're only after “I Knew You Were Waiting For Me”, you're still getting a winner.

  • 80s Soul Brilliance

    4 out of 5 stars
    RiwuvlJuly 23, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Amazing album featuring incredible tunes, Aretha's stunning vocals, and a brilliant arrangement! This is what music was all about in the 80s!
