Si Wilson Pickett, un des plus célèbres screamers de la soul music, est généralement associé à ses enregistrements pour Atlantic Records dans les années 1960, son passage chez RCA entre 1973 et 1975 est largement moins documenté. Le 18 septembre, le label Real Gone Music publiera Mr. Magic Man–The Complete RCA Studio Recordings, un coffret 2-CDs regroupant les albums Mr. Magic Man (1973), Miz Lena’s Boy (1973), Pickett in the Pocket (1974) et Join Me and Let’s Be Free (1975).
42 titres (dont quatre plages uniquement parues en single) et 148 minutes de musique remasterisée constitueront un ensemble qui s’annonce wickedly good !
