This edition presents two of Ray Charles’ most representative albums from his early years: the iconic "What’d I Say" (1959), and his sensational debut LP "Hallelujah I Love Her So!" (originally released in 1957 as Ray Charles, and reissued in 1962 with a new cover-sleeve). They were both originally released by Atlantic Records and include singles dating back as far as 1952 (all of the material was produced by the legendary team of Ahmet Ertegün and Jerry Wexler).
