Format: LP
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: 4M 115LP
"Aretha Franklin's 1971 album Live at Fillmore West was a seminal soul breakthrough.

Franklin adroitly mixed pop, rock, and soul material throughout the three nights, including Stephen Stills' 'Love The One You're With,' and Bread's 'Make It With You,' and the Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby,' as well as true favorites 'Respect,' 'Don't Play That Song,' and 'Spirit in the Dark,' which brought Ray Charles out of the audience for a spirited duet. Deluxe gatefold sleeve featuring photos from the concert and new liner notes by Down Beat contributor Mitch Myers (including fresh interviews with original album producers Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin)." Original cover art. 180 gram HQ vinyl.

Catalog #: SC 5136LP
Exact reproductions of this legendary album on audiophile 180-gram vinyl, cut directly from the original Atlantic/Stax analog masters. "1967's Aretha Arrives, a stunning release from this Detroit-raised, gospel-influenced soul goddess, is jam-packed with Aretha strutting her stuff in front of King Curtis and the Muscle Shoals house band. She 'Aretha-fies' everything here -- from 'Satisfaction' and '96 Tears' to the Frank Sinatra smash 'That's Life' and 'Ain't Nobody (Gonna Turn Me Around),' written by her sister, Carolyn Franklin -- to create a firestorm of funky sounds that's impossible to resist."
