Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

You can't have too much Etta James. Really. This long-overdue collection of the singer's Chess recordings includes much of her best work. Three CDs' worth. 72 tracks. Shivers abound just thinking about it. Of course, all the songs you'd expect are here: "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Spoonful," "Something's Got a Hold on Me," "Tell Mama," and, naturally, "At Last," among many, many others. But you don't need me to convince you why Etta James is worth hearing; what you want to know is, is this box set worth the price? Well, it's got almost everything you'd find on At Last, James's first studio album and widely considered her best, and it includes the same material as Her Best, which up to now was hands-down the best introduction to the glory that is Etta James. But say you've already got that stuff, why would you want this? Well, first of all, the packaging is stellar. A 40-page booklet comes in a handsomely presented box, which contains a wealth of pictures, quotes, and perspectives that do much to illuminate what made James's 16-year period at Chess Records so special. There are definitely a few musical chestnuts here; several previously unreleased tracks, as well as a few that were released as singles only. Notable inclusions are a previously unreleased version of "You Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and a live version of "At Last." Whether or not it's possible to distill the work of a singer like Etta James down to three CDs, this is a very strong collection and an admirable effort to get the best of Etta all in one place. --Genevieve Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars エタが好きになったら必携!, 2005/3/14
彼女の全盛期であるチェス時代(60-70年代前半)をたった3枚にまとめたベスト盤。残念なことに全盛期のチェス録音の多くが現在廃盤になっていますが、このCDでほとんどのアルバムの美味しいところをつまみ食いできます。しかも未発表曲や未発表テイクがほどほどにちりばめられていて、後でオリジナル盤を揃えても無駄になりません。パッケージも英文解説も素晴らしく、輸入版にしては少し高めの価格に見えるかも知れませんが、どれか一枚でも彼女のアルバムが気に入った人になら、決して損は無いと思います。何を歌わせても様になる、魂のこもった一曲一曲がぎっしりと詰まった、エタ全盛期の無敵の編集版です。
