Aretha Franklin in the 1970s-Search & Destroy

in a week

And only for a week:

Aaron Cohen, author of the essential 33 1/3rd book on Amazing Grace, will give an introduction at the December 8 8:00pm showing (which is sold out).

I saw Cohen talk about Curtis Mayfield once. He’s worth listening to.

Has anyone else seen Amazing Grace?. It is exhilarating.
I can also confirm that the aforementioned Aaron Cohen is a standup person and also a skilled musical historian/educator.

One of the Vinyl Me Please swap titles for June (what you can get instead of the normal subscription titles for the month) was their pressing of Spirit In The Dark. I received it yesterday and am spinning now.

I somehow missed that this edition was the MONO MIX--I didn't even know there was a mono mix! I guess it was done for AM radio or something? They say it's the "First Official Mono Vinyl Release". It's probably just a Stereo fold-down, but it still sounds lovely, really brings out the piano and especially the bass.

Have been on the lookout for an affordable vinyl copy of this for ages. VMP annoy me a lot but they do repress some fantastic stuff.

It's on sale for $25 (or $23 if you're a member) for the next day or so:

Looking again at the item description, they kind of bury the info that it's in Mono.

I'm fine with the mono but I fear the postage to the UK would kill me
