Aretha Franklin's I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You is the album that contains "Soul Serenade," "Good Times," "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," "A Change Is Gonna Come," and — most importantly — "Respect".

This is Franklin's 11th album and her first on Atlantic Records. Prior to this album, Aretha Franklin was known for Broadway tunes and Hollywood standards. It was on this album, though, that she emerged as true force of soul.

Having created her first recordings as a Gospel artist at the tender age of 14, Aretha Franklin went on to become the most charted female artist in Billboard's history. Releasing a staggering 88 charted singles on Billboard, Aretha was the winner of 18 Grammy awards including Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Soul Gospel Performance and Best Rhythm & Blues Recording. Having sold more than 75 million records worldwide she is regarded as an American treasure, in 1987 becoming the first woman to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Released in 1967 I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You was Aretha's breakthrough studio album, including the first two of Aretha's 20 No. 1 hit singles "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and her signature song "Respect."

This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, is mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing, this will be a highlight of your album collection.

Never sounded better - Chef's kiss! posted on 09/14/2025 5 Stars Reviewer: RT Aretha's crown jewel gets it proper respects on this AP cut. I could not be happier with the job done on this beloved record. Musically stellar and presented in pristine and vivid audio detail. Aretha's in the room and sounds as close to "reel". Great sound staging, separation of instruments and vocal placements. Quiet, flat vinyl and beautiful new photos on the inside jacket. Truly definitive.
