The album where Aretha found her voice at Atlantic, fusing gospel fire with secular soul on 'Respect' and the title track. Raw, commanding and historic. The Queen of Soul announces herself. The record that introduced Aretha Franklin to serious listeners.
On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
