2-LP SET

This double LP collector’s edition includes 27 studio tracks, consisting of the sensational singles – both A- & B-sides – Etta James made in Chicago for the Chess brothers’ Argo and Chesslabels, between 1960 and 1962. Unlike her previous R&B recordings for the Modern and Kent labels, in this new stage she sounded more sophisticated, while maintaining her powerful attack.

Contained here is the cream of the crop from Etta’s musical legacy. The set also presents a number of James’ lesser-known songs which are just as enjoyable as the unforgettable hits from that period. All of these fabulous recordings have been packaged together in this essential release, which gives ample proof of Etta James’ versatility as well as her rightful place in the R&B and early soul pantheon.
