Etta James - Etta James [New CD] Italy - Import

2 LPs ON 1 CD + 7 BONUS TRACKSEtta James was one of the greatest R&B singers of all time, with an incredibly soulful voice and an amazing ability to interpret oldfashioned yet timeless melodies. She sang with unmatched emotional hunger and a pain that can chill the listener.This quintessential Soul Jam release includes two of her finest (and long unavailable) albums from 1962: her self-titled third LP Etta James, and the follow-up record Sings for Lovers (which Etta herself stated was her favorite album). They were both originally released by the Argo label (a subsidiary of Chess Records). Fusingrhythm & blues with pop and soul, these two outstanding LPs have been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 7 bonus tracks from the same period (gathering a variety of hard to find sides recorded by James between 1960 and 1962).PERSONNEL:ETTA JAMES, lead vocals on all tracks, plus:The Riley Hampton Orchestra.Harvey Fuqua (duet vocals on tracks 5 & 10).Arranged and conducted by Riley Hampton.(Except tracks 11, 12, 14, 16 & 18, arranged by Al Posponka.)Recorded by Ron Malo at Chess Studios, Chicago, Illinois,between 1960 and 1962.Produced by Ralph Bass, and Leonard & Phil Chess.INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLETTRACKS:ETTA JAMES (third album) (Argo LP-4013, 1962)01 WAITING FOR CHARLIE (TO COME HOME) 2:0702 GUESS AGAIN 2:1403 A LOVER’S MOURN 2:3404 YOU CAN COUNT ON ME 2:3505 IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU 2:4506 SOMETHING’S GOT A HOLD ON ME 2:4707 MY DEAR 2:3208 NOBODY BUT YOU 2:2109 LET ME KNOW 3:0510 SPOONFUL 2:46SINGS FOR LOVERS (Argo LP-4018, 1962)11 DON’T TAKE YOUR LOVE FROM ME 3:3512 HOW DO YOU SPEAK TO AN ANGEL 2:3813 FOOLS RUSH IN 1:5914 DON’T BLAME ME 2:2315 SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME 6:0016 AGAIN 3:4017 I WANT TO BE LOVED 3:2118 IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU 3:2019 THESE FOOLISH THINGS 3:5920 PRISONER OF LOVE 2:13BONUS TRACKS21 HOW BIG A FOOL 2:4122 HICKORY DICKORY DOCK 3:0123 NOBODY LOVES YOU LIKE ME 2:2724 STREET OF TEARS 2:3425 STOP THE WEDDING 2:5026 NEXT DOOR TO THE BLUES 2:4627 WOULD IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU 2:38TOTAL TIME: 77:52
