Aretha Now (2LP)Aretha Franklin had some modest success as a singer of standards and torch songs, during her tenure with Columbia Records in the early and mid '60s, but it wasn't until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she found her true voice, becoming, in essence, the Aretha Franklin the world came to love the Queen of Soul! 1968 was a watershed year for Franklin.

Aretha Franklin had some modest success as a singer of standards and torch songs, during her tenure with Columbia Records in the early- and mid-'60s, but it wasn't until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she found her true voice, becoming, in essence, the Aretha Franklin the world came to love — the Queen of Soul! 1968 was a watershed year for Franklin. In January, she released Lady Soul, one of her finest and most popular albums — a No. 2 record that featured her take on Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" and the immortal "Chain of Fools." She closed out the year with her first live album, Aretha In Paris, performing some of her best Atlantic material in a concert setting. Sandwiched between those two records was Aretha Now, a continuation of the great, grooving R&B she'd made her own since signing with Atlantic. Side One is a flat-out classic. It starts with "Think," the timeless empowerment anthem, with its gospel call and response and "Freedom!" refrain-truly one of the '60s great soul songs. A reinvention of the Bacharach/David hit "I Say a Little Prayer" follows, as Franklin both leads and yields to the Sweet Inspirations, whose harmonies define this new version of the Dionne Warwick hit. A slinky take on "See Saw" leads into Franklin's brassy cover of "The Night Time is the Right Time," taking the sweaty Nappy Brown/Ray Charles bedroom come-on to church, as only Franklin could do it. She also takes a spritely stroll through Sam Cooke's "You Send Me," ending the side on a romantic high. Take a breath before flipping over to Side Two — you're going to need it, not just to recover from the string of knockouts on Side One, but also to marshal the energy you'll need to dance through the up-tempo stunners to come. Roger Hawkins' drums are the first thing you hear when the needle hits the groove-the count in to "You're a Sweet, Sweet Man," which gets the head bobbing. By the time Franklin sprints through the Clyde Otis tune "A Change," you'll be shimmying across whatever floor you happen to be standing on. It all leads up to the album closer, the simmering "I Can't See Myself Leaving You," an R&B chart smash with an understated vocal that should be considered among Franklin's finest performances. Aretha Now was a hit album in its own right, but it's sometimes overlooked, standing as it does in the shadow of Lady Soul. Still, Aretha Now is an effortless-sounding showcase of her range and versatility; portraying her talent for not only elevating any song she sang, but to make it completely hers in such a way that it's impossible to imagine anyone else singing it. This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of Aretha Now , is mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.Shipping Notes

Disappointed
Color: 6-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set, Color: 6-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set
The aerator worked amazing for about 6 weeks, then started just automatically going off. It drained a $70 bottle of wine. I wanted to cry…..
the automatic cork opener is hit and miss. Half the time it’s great and the other half of shreds corks.

Absolute Game Changer for Wine Nights!
Color: 5-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set
I am completely in love with this 5-in-1 electric wine opener set! It has completely taken the struggle out of opening wine bottles.
What Makes It Amazing:
Effortless Opening: The electric corkscrew is incredibly powerful and smooth. You just place it over the bottle, press down, and it removes the cork in seconds without any pulling, tugging, or broken cork pieces.
Instant Aeration: The electric aerator and pourer is a massive standout. It micro-oxygenates the wine right as you pour, instantly opening up the flavors and aromas so you don't have to wait 30–40 minutes for a traditional decanter to work.
Smart Preservation: The included vacuum stopper works wonderfully to pump out excess air, keeping leftovers tasting fresh for days.
Convenient USB-C Charging: I love that both the opener and decanter are rechargeable via Type-C. A single charge lasts for dozens of bottles, so it’s always ready to go when hosting.
The entire set feels lightweight yet highly durable, sleek, and looks beautiful on the counter. It includes everything you need from a clean foil cutter to the dispenser. It would make an incredible gift for any wine lover, but it’s an absolute must-have for your own home bar!
