Dernièrement, Aretha Franklin s’est retrouvée sous les feux de l’actualité en tenant de faire interdire la sortie du très attendu documentaire Amazing Grace. C’est heureusement grâce à la musique que la Queen of Soul refera parler d’elle le 6 novembre avec la sortie d’un luxueux coffret 19-CDs vinyl replica retraçant la riche période Atlantic Records, étalée entre 1967 et 1979. Le contenu de cette boxset élude toutefois les trois ultimes albums -peu glorieux- d’Aretha Franklin enregistrés pour le label et dont elle possède toujours les droits.
Aretha Franklin : the Atlantic Albums Collection propose 16 albums studio et live parmi lesquels les incontournables Lady Soul, Aretha Now, Spirit in the Dark, Amazing Grace (en version extended), mais aussi la compilation de raretés Rare & Unreleased Recordings From The Golden Reign Of The Queen Of Soul et le méconnu concert Oh Me Oh My: Aretha Live In Philly, 1972. Tracklisting complet ci-dessous.
Aretha Franklin : The Atlantic Albums Collection, coffret 19-CDs et versions digitales disponibles le 30 octobre.
