At Last

Product Information

Faithfulness to the original is our top priority, not the interpretation of the original: there is no such thing as a “Speakers Corner Sound”. The album also included covers of pop and jazz standards, such as "Stormy Weather", "A Sunday Kind of Love", and "I Just Want to Make Love to You". Yes, sometimes the album is so intense that it can be taken only one side at a time, but the sensational feeling one gets rolling off into the morning sun with Etta James on the car stereo, is pure satisfaction.

Jackpot Records is honored to release this momentous record with the original album artwork and 4 bonus tracks (previously only available on CD). It was during the Sixties when Etta James truly found her musical direction and made a lasting mark as a soulful pop and blues diva. James demonstrates her keen facility on the title track in particular, as she easily moves from powerful blues shouting to more subtle, airy phrasing; her Ruth Brown-inspired, bad-girl growl only adds to the intensity. At the beginning of the ‘90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the reissue policy was fairly straightforward.Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source from which to master: CDs, LPs, digital files and even MP3s. In 1987, the album was released for the first time by MCA /Chess , and then digitally remastered and reissued on compact disc in 1999 with four bonus duet tracks performed with Harvey Fuqua : "My Heart Cries," "Spoonful," "It's a Crying Shame," and "If I Can't Have You. But the more carefree, candy rock ’n’ roll ("Tough Mary"), the weird and languishing song ("Girl Of My Dreams") and the stuff of finest ballads ("Stormy Weather") are all found in this highly diversified mainstream mix. An icon from early rock’n’rolls pantheon of divas, she has inspired 5 decades of listeners and fellow artists with her vocal styling. I don't think they needed to make the vinyl blue but is is a heavyweight 180 grams, which helps avoid any warping over time.

This pressing reproduces - with some attenuation - microphone plosives and pops that were part of a few of the original Chicago recording sessions.is the debut studio album by American blues and soul artist Etta James, which includes the title song 'At Last'. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. This one looks beautiful and despite the fact it's a digital source, obviously, it sounds very good. What makes 'At Last' a great album is not only the solid hits it contains, but also the strong variety of material throughout. But beware, this young woman (she was only 22 at the time) could also take on the sweetest forms of a melancholy ballad, such as “Stormy Weather”, and manage to achieve tenderness.

Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The question of whether Etta James became a pop singer, a jazz singer, or a blues singer needn’t detain you long.
