Excellent !
Everyone can enjoy this soulful, R&B blused-tinged set. This is not for hard-core Aretha fans only. As great as she is, I still don't think Aretha gets enough credit.


Great unheard recordings
Truely enjoyable. The CD has many out takes and unheard recordings that I was unaware of.


Rare & Unreleased Recordings from the Golden Reigh of the Queen of Soul
This truly is a must have for any "true" Aretha fan. This tells it all. I have been a fan of Aretha since day one. This could have been named "Aretha Raw & Released". It surely cuts right to the Soul. I am 62y/o and never thought I would hear Aretha sing like this again but thanks to this release, I feel 22 again. It makes me remember the 60's when we enjoyed "house parties" listening to Aretha's albums. It also remined me of being in Viet Nam (when back in base camp) how all us fellows couldn't get enough listening to Aretha on our "tape decks".
Thank you once again Ms. Franklin
Your Fan for Life!!!!!!!!!!.


Another Gem Released.
There is one album though, which has yet to be re-released and that is her 1975 album "You". Full marks for this album - long awaited. Many people at the time said it wasn't one of her best, but I fell in love with it from the first time I heard it. Could someone please re-release and re-master this album.


die-hard aretha fans have to get this!
all the stuff alluded to in jerry wexler's autobiography i believe is here. the true aretha fan(like myself) will have to have this b/c it's mostly fresh or rarely heard aretha at her vocal peak. but my goodness, so many exhausting takes makes these cd's not as enjoyable as one of her many hits compilations - casual aretha fans watch out. i think these were left off the original releases for a reason. truly memorable are aretha's version of the supremes "keep me hanging on" and maybe melba moore's "lean on me". it is what we've all been hearing about and waiting for. i hope their is more in the vaults. a lot of it is not essential but important and influential artists such as ms franklin deserve to have it all out there. definitely worth having. another great purchase would be the limited edition "live in philly 1972 concert" for sale on the rhino records website. while it's not "filmore west", i found it excellent also. grab it while u can, fellow aretha-heads!.
