    Aretha Franklin, Aretha Now, 1968 on Atlantic

    The third of Aretha's Atlantic albums from the 60s, including "Think," "I Say a Little Prayer," and a cover of Sam Cooke's "You Send Me." Produced by Jerry Wexler and with on sax, Spooner Oldham on keys, Roger Hawkins on drums, and Jerry Jemott on bass. Fantastic album from the height of Franklin's Atlantic run. My copy—direct from Vinyl Me, Please—is a 2023 club edition reissue ("VMP Classics") on 180g vinyl with lacquers cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling.

    Son of a Preacher Man

    Remembering Dusty Springfield w/ this signature song.

    “Being good isn't always easy
    No matter how hard I try
    When he started sweet-talkin' to me
    He'd come and tell me "Everything is alright"

    Big Joe Turner, Rhythm & Blues Years, 1986 on Atlantic

    Although this compilation was put out by Atlantic in 1986 (Turner died in late 1985), the recordings come from the 1950s. Turner met the Erteguns at the Apollo Theater in 1951 and made five albums plus many singles and EPs on Atlantic during those years.

    Great 2xLP with a gatefold and liner notes including contributions by Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun, Bob Porter, Jerry Wexler, Doc Pomus, and Herb Abramson. As the liner notes point out “these are not Joe’s biggest recordings, but they are some of his best performances” – they reissued the biggest hits on another compilation.
