Editorial Reviews

Compiled by life-long Aretha aficionado David Nathan, Just A Matter Of Time contains 24 of her Columbia tracks that have a higher soul content than many of those that are available elsewhere and also focuses on tracks that have not been reissued on CD recently - or, in most cases, at all.

In-demand items such as One Step Ahead and I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face are matched by the invigorating Rough Lover and It's So Heartbreakin' (which shares its piano intro with her Atlantic recording of You Send Me). As well as rare singles, we also have the choicest cuts from three of Ms Franklin's most soulful Columbia albums and also premiere two stunning unissued cuts from the Columbia vaults which have been mixed specially for this project by our friends at Sound Mastering.

Aretha's Columbia recordings have eventually become as acclaimed by soul fans as her later Atlantic sides. Here are two dozen of the very finest.

WONDERFUL Columbia Records compilation from Kent Soul label!

Finally a compilation of Columbia material that is not the same tracks CBS had issued for the past few decades.

Two unreleased songs from the vaults and many 45 RPM sides premiering here for the first time on any CD. Well worth the price. Also a detailed and interesting booklet filled with facts from David Nathan (THE Ambassador of Soul) about the origins of certain tracks. Very good research and 2 rare pics I haven't seen before.

Now to get Columbia to give a Complete Columbia Box Set over to Nathan to oversee. One with all the unreleased tracks is way overdo OR a complete collectors set of all her Columbia LPs all in a collectors box. Like the ones I have seen done on Sinatra and The Beatles!

This is a wonderful CD set to have because the voice of Aretha is so sweet but powerful. You can her hear her become the Aretha we all know and love. It is like looking at early drawings of a master. Early recordings show how innately talented she was and that her exquisite musicianship persevered even with the Columbia arrangements that are not her famous soulful style. She is 100% Aretha with a very young voice. Truly a wonderful CD set. Talent like this is never old fashioned.
