Aretha Franklin - The Atlantic Collection 1967 - 1970
These double-editions from Atlantic/Rhino showcase some iconic tracks from an iconic performer. All bar one of these 34 singles (25 on the vinyl edition) are drawn from the first six LPs Aretha Franklin cut for Atlantic between 1967 and 1970 (the exception being her version of Elton John’s ‘Border Song’, released as a single in 1970 but found on the 1972 LP Young, Gifted And Black). They include stone-cold classics like ‘Respect’ and ‘Baby I Love You’ as well as barnstorming covers of The Beatles, Sam Cooke and The Band.
