edlongus SUBS ● 26th Sep 2019		Label variant scans added.



Magic Marmalade 16th Feb 2017		This album is exactly what I wanted from an Aretha Frankiln album... lots of listens already!



W.B.lbl ● 8th Jul 2014		The "MG" indicates a pressing by MGM Records' Bloomfield, NJ plant; their pressing ring was 1.25" diameter. MGM pressed LP's and 45's for Atlantic and sublabels on the East Coast through January 1965, after which Atlantic went with Presswell for LP's and Specialty Records Corporation for 45's; however, MGM briefly resumed pressing LP's only for Atlantic for a brief period in late 1968 / early '69.



cussincarryinon02 7th Jul 2014		Matrix side 1 (image 532396) = ST-A-681481 and A and MG & AT and W (all hand etched). Matrix side 2 (image 532397) = ST-A-681482 and B-I and MG & AT and W (all hand etched). The "&" between MG and AT looks like a mirror-inverted "73", esp. on runout side 2.
