  • Incredible New Release

    5 out of 5 stars
    QuanzkrevvnuohosawyNovember 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing new release. It sounds incredible. The sound is vast, deep, and has a gorgeous balance. 10+ without a doubt.

  • Fat Possum's Average Reissue

    4 out of 5 stars
    Yecek12October 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is a classic case of Fat Possum's "alright, not outstanding" reissues. They're putting in the effort, no doubt. :) My (pre-owned) copy is nice and flat, a tad off-center but nothing that messes with playback. There's a hint of surface noise that only pops up during super quiet parts and between tracks. The soundstage is pretty good - instruments and vocals are distinct and quite crisp - but there's a touch of murkiness that keeps it in the middle of the pack. Tweak your EQ as needed. I'd pick this over a banged-up original, but it's all about personal preference.

  • Al Green's Soulful Debut

    5 out of 5 stars
    LhVibiuAugust 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Al Green's debut masterpiece. "Tired Of Being Alone" is absolutely phenomenal. "Light My Fire" might be the only not-so-great track. The formula was slightly adjusted, but GETS NEXT TO YOU kicks off a series of legendary 70's soul albums from Green, Willie Mitchell, and Hi Records. This is a 1971 Bestway pressing, and it sounds fantastic. The rhythm section packs a punch, with a lively and natural soundstage. My copy plays smoothly with some light surface noise and a few minor pops during "Are You Lonely For Me Baby".

  • Superb Sound Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    krnefJuly 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    As anticipated, the sound quality from this early UK original pressing is superb.

  • Highly Recommended Amazing Record

    5 out of 5 stars
    wjjxyoztusrusJuly 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm right there with aledif71, no problems at all with the spacing on this pressing. It's an amazing, can't-stop-listening kind of record that truly deserves all the praise. Highly, highly recommend it!
