EAN/UPS: 886977725524
Media type: CD

A quintuple dose of work from Aretha Franklin's post-Atlantic years – a few key albums for Arista, plus some other nice bits too – all served up in mini LP-styled sleeves that are much nicer than the usual CD covers! The set starts with Aretha from 1980 – a really great record that picks up some of the best sophisticated soul modes of the late Atlantic years – some nice jazzy touches, and a really warm feel overall! Other albums include Who's Zoomin Who, What You See Is What You Sweat, A Rose Is Still A Rose, and So Damn Happy – all records that aren't without their pop moments, but which almost always make up for those with some great deeper soul elements too. 50 tracks in all.
