| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Atlantic 81912 | The Golden Age Of Black Music, 1970-75 | $13.98 |
| 15 tracks featuring Aretha Franklin, Jackie Moore, Wilson
Pickett, The Spinners, Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick & the Spinners,
etc. |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Atlantic 82218 | The Complete Stax/ Volt Singles 1959 - 1968 | $99.98 |
| This is the set you've probably read about in almost any
music-oriented publication you pick up these days - an exhaustive box set
compilation of every single put out by the independant Stax/ Volt labels
in their heyday decade 1959 - 1968. Known primarily as the home of soul
legends like Otis Redding, Rufus & Carla Thomas, Sam & Dave, Eddie
Floyd, Booker T. & The MG's, William Bell, Johnnie Taylor, The Bar-Kays,
Mad Lads, the labels also sported blues heavyweight Albert King, New
Orleans artists Bobby Marchan and Sir Mack Rice, and a lot of regional one
hitters who would be banished to undeserved obscurity if it weren't for
this encyclopedic volume. 244 cuts on 9 CD's, digitally remastered from
original mono masters - an enthusiastic thumbs up for anyone who's
yearning to own a big fat chunk of R&B history. (MB) |
|||
| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Atlantic 82305 | Atlantic Rhythm And Blues 1947-1974 | $92.98 |
| The original 14-LP version of this set was an immediate
classic, a thrilling compilation of this seminal rhythm-and-blues label's
most lasting hits, with a sensible emphasis on the Stax/ Volt recordings
that Atlantic distributed. The original single CD versions of the set were
somewhat disappointing - some tracks were randomly lopped off, and the
sonic impact was diminished from the LP's - but you can safely forget
about them. Now on 8 CD's in an LP-sized case, the set is complete and
clear. The box includes the same notes from the original albums, as well
as 17 additional tracks (none particularly rare), bring the total to a
whopping 203! From Joe Morris to Major Harris, Atlantic's classic period
was full of a wide array of performers, writers, and producers whose
committment to soul remains unequalled. And any set that presents - in
context - many of the finest recordings of LaVern Baker, William Bell,
Booker T. & The MG's, Solomon Burke, Ray Charles, The Clovers,
Coasters, Arthur Conley, Drifters, Aretha Franklin, Chris Kenner, Ben E.
King, Mar-Keys, Clyde McPhatter, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam &
Dave, Percy Sledge, Carla & Rufus Thomas, Joe Turner, Chuck Willis,
and many more is undeniable. This is soul of the highest order, and earns
our highest recommendation. (JG) |
