Sonny & Cher – The Two Of Us – 1972 – Rock (vinyl lp)

Here's a pressing that doesn't surface often in the wild – the Canadian ATCO release of Sonny & Cher's "The Two Of Us" from 1972. This was their final studio album as a duo before their well-documented split, capturing them at a fascinating crossroads both personally and musically. While most collectors focus on their earlier folk-rock material, this record shows the pair moving into a more polished, early 70s pop-rock direction that anticipated Cher's solo career trajectory. The album features some surprisingly strong material, including their take on "Tennessee Waltz" and the underrated "When You Say Love," which showcase Cher's increasingly confident vocals against Sonny's more restrained production style.

What makes this Canadian pressing particularly interesting is the slightly different mastering approach that ATCO's Canadian plant used during this period – there's a warmth and presence here that the US pressings sometimes lack. Canadian ATCO releases from the early 70s are generally well-regarded among collectors for their pressing quality, and this title is no exception. Beyond the sonic qualities, this represents a genuine piece of pop culture history: the swan song of one of the 60s' most distinctive duos, recorded as their marriage was dissolving but before their personal drama became tabloid fodder. For collectors of early 70s pop or those interested in the complete Sonny & Cher story, this is essential listening that often gets overlooked in favor of their hits compilations.
