Originally released in Jan. 1969, this is Aretha's 6th album for Atlantic and one of her most under-rated '60s albums. Despite the title, it's a brilliant jazz-flavored set (with sophisticated brass arrangements and cool horn playing) featuring "Today I Sing The Blues" & "Gentle On My Mind," plus passionate covers of The Miracles' "Tracks Of My Tears" and Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me". Aretha's backed by jazzmen Kenny Burrell, Ron Carter, David Newman & Joe Zawinul, plus the amazing grooves of the legendary Muscle Shoals rhythm section. Contains new liner notes by MC5 manager, poet and music historian John Sinclair. 180 gram vinyl reissue in gatefold sleeve.

Shipping

City Hall Records has designed a special cardboard mailer with extra protective spaces on the corners.  Your record will also be insulated with thick cardboard pads and packed tightly to avoid movement during shipping.  We understand that you want your LPs to arrive in the condition described.  Over 8,000 shipments have produced only praise for our packing methods. 

Our average time to ship is within 1 business day after receipt of your payment.  Most US shipments are delivered within 10 days but Media Mail varies; please allow up to 15 business days before calling it late.

Sealed LP Inspection Service

Since all of our items are factory sealed we cannot be fully responsible for the condition of the invisible part, unless you ask us to inspect it.  Even though incorrect, defective or damaged product is very rare, we highly recommend that you allow us to inspect your item before we ship it.  Just let us know by writing INSPECT in the note to seller box when paying via PayPal.

 

If there is something wrong with your record that could only have been seen by such inspection, and you did not request it, we will not be responsible for the cost of shipping the faulty product back here, or for the shipping of a replacement item to you. We will replace the faulty item, however, as long as you pay for these freight costs.

Also, many LP buyers prefer to have the disc shipped outside the jacket to minimize damage to the jacket.  If you have requested that we inspect the disc, then we will pack it outside the jacket.

International Customers

International customers; the rates shown for shipping do not apply to you.  Please input your country on the "Shipping and payments" tab above to see the rates.  If you intend on buying more than 1 LP, please  please allow us to invoice you at the time of your purchase so that you can get the best deal.

If you're in a country other than U.S. or Canada, please note you'll get the best per-unit price and fastest delivery on your LP shipments by ordering at least 4 discs at a time.

We enclose an actual invoice with your shipment and do not falsify customs valuations.

If you are at an address where there are customs duties, and you have ordered an amount that puts you just over the limit for avoidance of such duties, we are willing to do you the service of discounting the merchandise a little upon request, if you will allow us to make up for it with an equivalent increase in shipping and handling fees. We would want your agreement to give us good rankings for fair shipping/handling fees in such instances.

Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
