GREAT ALBUM BAD REMASTERING JOB.......2006-09-10

This is one of Al greens best albums he ever did.I used to have the original CD but I decided to get the new remastered version,and boy was I shocked the sound qualitiy is not good at all the highs are very muffled and the songs that fade out are faded out faster. So don,t get this version get the original it only has 2 less songs but the sound is A lot better and it is cheaper.

Worth every bit of the hype/ Al Green is the King of 70's soul.......2006-06-11

Yep, that's right, I said it and he is! The first of Al Green's three masterpieces, "Let's Stay Together" finally captures Al Green at the peak of his raw yet so seductive extrodinarily elastic whisper of vocal power. His voice really stretches out on tracks like "What Is This Feeling?"(The La-La-La cadence at the break in the center will give you chills) "Judy" and of course the earthshattering "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart." A song he took and completely erased the origin's of.(He even brags about doing this in the liner notes, but hey like he says "It ain't bragging if you did it")The title track is not just a soul classic it is one of the essential landmarks in music history. A song so universal and meaningful, yet wonderfully simple it could be quoted as scripture.(it is in a way actually)The remastering is good but I can't compare it to anything because I don't have a previous edition or a turntable. This has been released in 180-gram audiophile vinyl so if you do have a turntable you probably won't even want to listen to the cd anymore. "Let's Stay Together" is an all time classic and is every bit as essential as any landmark recording made during the 70's and beyond.

P.S. I'm not crazy about the bonus tracks
:o)

my mistake.......2006-02-24

ordered and opened, upen listening realized it was not what I wanted. I guess it's too late to do anything about it!

THE NUMBER 1 AL GREEN ALBUM.......2005-09-29

Whilst the Al Green selection in most stores consists of three different best of's, nothing beats an orginal album capturing the high point of an artists career. This is the one for Al Green. A beautiful, smooth, soulful piece with a kickass cover. Very cool.

Remastered ....Not.......2005-08-11

Denmon Records from 1986 is the equal, at least, of this sorry edition. Why buy a remaster if you can't tell even a slight increase in quality compared to a version that was released 19 years ago. Even the liner notes are better in the older version.

dated in a good way.......2006-07-18

"Let's Stay Together" plays funk infused jazz. This album is hopelessly lost in the 1970's -and that's part of what's so great about "Let's Stay Together." The crowning tribute here to bell bottoms, pet rocks and platform shoes is the 'Theme From Shaft.' Other recognizable covers include 'What's Going On' and 'Georgia On My Mind.' Jimmy's Hammond B-3 spews out chunks of funk, while the bass plays fat grooves and a greasy brass section punctuates just the right moments. An occasional guitar solo provides some elegance. In terms of significance, this music is now the roots of acid jazz. "Let's Stay Together" isn't a timeless classic, it's an unapologetically dated gem.

Amazon.com essential recording

The Memphis Sound took its greatest steps toward '70s smoothness with Al Green. Let's Stay Together is a showcase of the combination of grit and honey that made the singer one of the decade's foremost artist-hitmakers. In addition to the classic title single--a pop and R&B No. 1 in 1972--the album offers prime early examples of other Green trademarks: an unexpected cover (the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart") and the outright eccentricity of "So You're Leaving," which answers gossips with the assurance that if "they'll lie on Jesus, can't you see they'll lie on you and me." --Rickey Wright

Album Description

1972 album proves to be one of Al's biggest.

Customer Reviews:

Fantastic!.......2003-01-03

This is a truly great album. Forget the numerous 'greatest hits' albums out there and buy this. In my opinion it manages to combine one of the happiest (Lets stay together) and saddest (How can you mend a broken heart) songs on the same album!

Get Together With Al.......2001-03-14

The title track to Let's Stay Together has become Al Green's signature song and a certified r&b classic. The song is one of the definitive Memphis soul songs with its smooth organ punctuated by horns , Rev. Green comes in a low voice and then in the chorus reaches up to a heavenly falsetto. The song became his only his only number one on the pop charts. The album also contains one of his most underrated songs, a stirring version of the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart". Rev. Green sings it with a true pain in his voice and the emotion practically oozes out of your speakers. Other excellent songs include "So You're Leaving", "I've Never Found A Girl" and "Judy".

Ahhhh!...... Rev. Al!.......2000-06-27

Al can sing. That's all you need to know. The most soulful falsetto voice out there (makes mincemeat out of Barry Gibb on 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart'), and songs made up of beautifully laid-back arrangements. My faves include 'So You're Leaving Me' and 'I've Never Found a Girl'. Good grooves and great vocals.

And then there's the title cut. First heard by these years under a conversation between Ving Rhames and Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction, on its own it stands out as a monster. A great cross between deceptively complex songwriting and deceptively complex emotions. 'Let's Stay Together' is really about a couple who's breaking apart. And you can feel Al's pain when he sings it. One of the all time great songs, let alone a great performance by my man here.

a true soul classic.......2000-01-25

what can you say about this genius? his 70's soul output is the stuff of Legend.this album has the trademark Memphis sound horns&organs and to top it all off the vocals of Al Green.this is a must have.this is soul music at it's best.Al Green is very gifted.

Music is the language of the Divine -- and Al speaks it........1999-10-23

Al is the MAN. I love his music. He is the greatest soul singer of all time. Interestingly, the spiritual peak of his work came before he turned to religion. Having listened my LPs to death, and I hate to give more money to the music companies, I have to shell out some more bucks for the CDs. This albums is simply timeless beauty, and I need the deep feeling in my life. Thanks Al. God bless you man -- through your gift he has certainly blessed us.
