Soul fans in general and ARETHA lovers in particular will be delighted to know that BMG Records are gearing up release a splendid 5-CD / 6-LP Limited Edition of all of the Queen Of Soul’s albums released between 1970 and 1974. That’s to say, ‘This Girl’s In Love With You’, ‘’Spirit In The Dark’, ‘Young, Gifted And Black’, ‘’Hey Now Hey (The Other Side Of The Sky)’ and ‘Let Me In Your Life’. The set comes with a bonus disc that offers alternate mixes, outtakes and demos.

The liner notes come via Billboard’s Gail Mitchell and British “Ambassador of Soul” David Nathan.
Expect a full review of the set here @ SJF in the near future – but what a great Christmas present for the soul lover in your life – a wonderful alternative to predictable socks or chocolates no matter how tasty!
