Aretha Franklin Aretha Now (Atlantic 75 Series) 180g 45rpm 2LP (FREESHIPPING at Checkout Two Orders or More UK Only) Pre-order

Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!

Aretha Franklin had some modest success as a singer of standards and torch songs, during her tenure with Columbia Records in the early- and mid-'60s, but it wasn't until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she found her true voice, becoming, in essence, the Aretha Franklin the world came to love — the Queen of Soul!

1968 was a watershed year for Franklin. In January, she released Lady Soul, one of her finest and most popular albums — a No. 2 record that featured her take on Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" and the immortal "Chain of Fools." She closed out the year with her first live album, Aretha in Paris, performing some of her best Atlantic material in a concert setting.

Sandwiched between those two records was Aretha Now, a continuation of the great, grooving R&B she'd made her own since signing with Atlantic.

This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of Aretha Now is mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.
