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.
