The mono flattens out songs like Chain of Fools that have rich stereo remixes, and there's some distortion on her vocals in some of the hotter mixes. Why? Why do this? Can't give it a poor rating for the music because Aretha is the queen but this is mix has a lot of problems.

Mono = Pass

September 28 is a ways off - if record company executives are trying to profit from Aretha’s death, will anyone care about this album by the time it arrives?

R.I.P.
