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.they gave this exclusive a video and everything (and i dunno if its limited so no real FOMO). but it almost feels like this would have been a planned classics released they just weren't allowed to do
the Aretha Franklin - Spirit in the Dark store exclusive is really excellent.Dammit... after 7 years canceled last fall but they sucked me back in with the offer. Signed up for a year to make it worth it the $ and started with Sigur Ros.
Patsy and Willie are on my radar for future picks. What else has sounded excellent or been a nice surprise this past year?
For real, that Aretha record is a joyous celebration! It is quickly becoming one of my favorites.the Aretha Franklin - Spirit in the Dark store exclusive is really excellent.
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.For real, that Aretha record is a joyous celebration!

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.That singles collection is killer. If you can find it, the Atlantic albums box set is well worth it
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.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.
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.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.

It's a vinyl only release only available through VMP, how exactly are you gonna listen to it?I would have been intrigued to be honest if this was a Classics pick. As a store exclusive, not as much.

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.Also my bad for taking them at their word on “vinyl only release”
I learn something new every day! Did not know those were new releases.Miles Davis and Nat Turner Rebellion disagree with you.
They were new archival releases, if that distinction means anything.I learn something new every day! Did not know those were new releases.
