From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original Atlantic factory sleeve. The flip side rates at #685 in Dave Marsh's 1001 list... so this single takes up two positions (#553 and #685) in the list! By the way, the A side is a non-album recording that didn't even appear on Aretha's 1971 Greatest Hits album, which featured the 5:37 live version of the song from her Fillmore Live album. I'm not sure if this 3:18 version ever appeared on LP. Note: Aside from the drillhole (which may appear in a different location than that in the scan), this copy is pristine Mint!
