The record


Title: Aretha Franklin - Aretha's Greatest Hits
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1971, Soul, R&B, Memphis, Tennessee 11/26
Matrix #: SD 8295
Condition: VG- (LM) | Members: Aretha F (42' - 18') | Producer: Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin
Cultural Facts: [27]

  1. Atlantic's First Aretha Hits Package: This 1971 Atlantic set gathered the runaway singles from her first years with Jerry Wexler after she left Columbia, the stretch that turned her from a respected jazz-soul singer into the Queen of Soul.
  2. Muscle Shoals Changed Everything: Wexler famously brought Aretha to FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, then flew the Alabama rhythm section to New York when things got messy. Those players are the backbone of the hits collected here.
  3. Respect Was an Otis Flip: Respect started as an Otis Redding tune. Aretha rearranged it, added the sock-it-to-me lines with her sisters, and turned a man's plea into a civil-rights and women's anthem almost overnight.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
