"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."
Got It Together
Thomas Magnum | NJ, USA | 06/06/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"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"."

"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."
THE NUMBER 1 AL GREEN ALBUM

"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."
This is THE Al Green album to own!

"I'm not going to fawn over the title track, because it speaks for itself. Get this CD for the other tunes. My personal faves are How can you mend a broken heart, Never found a Girl, and most especially, Judy. Judy is a beautiful, yet underrated ballad. It oozes mood. Heck, the entire album does that. Hook up with someone special to you, pour the drinks, light a candle, turn off the lights, PUT ON THIS CD, and feel the soulfulness of 'Staying Together'.PS: Also check out Al's 'I'm still in love with you' CD. I feel that it laid the musical foundation for this musical masterpiece."
