• Incredible New Release

  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
  Yecek1225 October 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
  LhVibiu12 August 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

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

• Highly Recommended Amazing Record

  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!
