This quintessential edition includes Aretha’s second LP, The Electrifying Aretha Franklin, long unavailable on vinyl. The album indeed electrified audiences when it was released by Columbia in 1962, winning Aretha top honors in Down Beat magazine’s prestigious listeners’ poll. One can easily hear her divinely inspired soul fire, emerging interpretative grace and vocal sophistication.

In addition to the original masterpiece, this collector’s item includes 2 bonus tracks from the same period: the majestic “When They Ask About You” and the soulful “Hard Times”.
