Many great singers passed through the hands of late great soul/R&B producer Jerry Wexler, from Aretha Franklin to Dusty Springfield, but Etta James was a singer he willingly waited 20 long years to work with. "Etta is a church in herself," he said in his autobiography, adding: "Her voice is a mighty influence, her musical personality able to express an extraordinary range of moods." He further described her as "A woman used but not spent, abused but never defeated, vulnerable but though sheer strength of will, victorious." Her legend lives on in her music. Press play and share her many emotions... 3LP Gatefold white vinyl

Somebody actually got paid to put this together?
This was a really fantastic collection I listened to? It was so authentic it sounded like there was dust under the needle and the record had been playing about 5 million times and was worn out? I just consider that defective! If it came from the factory that way? You got paid to remaster that collection? Who got paid to package and promote it? I think I could have done a better job and I'm not a recording engineer. There's also another collection that is named a different name but is 99% the same collection. That sounds just as authentic with a dust Bunny under the needle and worn out grooves. You're better off getting the 50th anniversary. Not as many songs but they're clear and clean.

Beautiful Collection
Very Beautiful collection, lots of great songs, beautiful pictures as well in the inside. not sure but when i played it in my vinyl player the sound even though it was on high sounded very low, so not sure if its the vinyl but either way I am in love with this and will definitely recommend this purchase.

Perfect!
I love this collection, so fun, elegant and the perfect amount of that blues sass! Record plays great and packaging was done with care.

Record making weird noises
This will be the 2nd time I have returned the Etta James record in a week. The record itself is making strange noises with and without the volume on - it sounds very weird. The 1st time this happened 1 of the 3 albums was making noises, this time it is 2 out of 3 records that is doing this. I LOVE Etta James' voice so much and I am saddened by having to return these albums a 2nd time. I am not sure if this is a factory produced issue but I am very disappointed by this.

worth it and the price is beyond fair
