All the mock-ups and marketing shots make it feel like a classics release, but I really don’t think they could put a new release in classics, even if with this one’s history. Maybe it would’ve been better as a Stax anthology bonus.
the Aretha Franklin - Spirit in the Dark store exclusive is really excellent.
For real, that Aretha record is a joyous celebration! It is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
VMP really got me on an Aretha kick once they started doing some of her albums. The VMP albums are all great. So is the Rhino reissue of Young Gifted and Black and the Atlantic Singles collection that Kevin Gray cut if you want some more affordable Aretha reissues.

i have a few of the broken out LPs from the box set (which I think may have been repressed recently) so I never bought the full box set.
Not a record, obviously, but if you dig Aretha and haven’t seen the Aretha documentary “Amazing Grace,” I highly recommend it. I was lucky to see it on the big screen at our best local art house theater, which also has good sound.VMP really got me on an Aretha kick once they started doing some of her albums.

Miles Davis and Nat Turner Rebellion disagree with you.
I would have been intrigued to be honest if this was a Classics pick. As a store exclusive, not as much. It's weird I know. I'll need to listen when its released and see, as I do suffer from too-much-itis in my collection.
It's a vinyl only release only available through VMP, how exactly are you gonna listen to it?
I assume they’ll be shipping in the spring. I apologize @wmeugene
Yea it’s kinda shady. Have to scroll down pretty far and read lots of what I assume is Storf word vomit to find that.
I learn something new every day! Did not know those were new releases.
No worries, I was just assuming. I didn't read their blurb carefully and if I had, I'd just assume they were lying/misleading anyway.
They were new archival releases, if that distinction means anything.
yeah, I guess the difference is this album is it’s all new recordings.
