    I've done some forum searches, and I haven't found anything definitive stating if the full "Lady Soul" LP is available in mono on CD - I know that the current CD includes some mono singles, but if anyone knows of the catalog number, discogs ID, etc. of a release with the full LP in mono, I would appreciate the info.

    Thanks in advance

    As far as I know, the mono mix hasn't been released on CD. And it's very rare on vinyl as well. A great album and a prime candidate for a high-quality mono reissue. If MFSL put it out I'd buy both the SACD and the LP.

    The mono mixes for the singles have also been released elsewhere on CD (most notably on the 1992 Rhino box set, Queen of Soul - no treble boost or compression, this was done by Ted Jensen before him, Rhino and everyone else started brick walling everything). They are the mixes for those tracks. Shame the rest of the LP hasn't been made available in mono, I'm curious if the non-single tracks sound even better in their original dedicated mono mixes.

    Aretha's a prime candidate for a mono box set.
