Aretha Franklin- This Girl's In Love With You-LP

Aretha Franklin's 1970 album This Girl's In Love With You reveals her ability to blend soul and R&B with lush orchestral arrangements, guided by producers Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin. The set features her interpretation of The Beatles' "Let It Be" and "Eleanor Rigby," alongside classics like "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Dark End of the Street." Aretha's own composition "Call Me" adds a personal dimension, while Duane Allman's slide guitar graces the version of "The Weight," lending a unique flavor to this diverse collection. The album stands as a testament to Franklin’s expansive musical range, balancing heartfelt covers with original material. This pressing from 1970 on CTH offers a solid vinyl listening experience for those who appreciate vintage soul with a refined production touch. The record shows a glossy surface with very light, barely noticeable paper scuffs and faint lines, which should not significantly affect playback. It's the kind of album that earns a spot near the soul and R&B section, though its Beatles covers might tempt you to sneak it over to the rock shelf—proof that even a record can moonlight in another genre without a cover charge.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
