Aretha Arrives (180 Gram Vinyl) by Aretha Franklin.

Performer Notes:

• Personnel: Aretha Franklin (vocals, piano), Jimmy Johnson (acoustic & electric guitars), Joe South (electric guitar), Spooner Oldham (acoustic & electric piano, organ, vibraphone), Truman Thomas (organ), Ted Somers (vibraphone), Tommy Cogbill (bass), Roger Hawkins (drums), Carolyn Franklin, Erma Franklin, The Sweet Inspirations (background vocals).
• Horns: King Curtis, Charlie Chalmers (tenor saxophones), Willie Bridges (baritone saxophone), Melvin Lastie (trumpet), Tony Studd (bass trombone).
• Recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York on June 20-23, 1967. Originally released on Atlantic (8150). Includes liner notes by David Nathan.
• Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch (DigiPrep).
• This is part of Rhino Record's "Atlantic Remasters" series.
• ARETHA ARRIVES followed up Aretha Franklin's smash Atlantic debut, I NEVER LOVED A MAN THE WAY I LOVE YOU, and features a similar cast of Muscle Shoals musicians, with whom she had an unmistakable chemistry. Recorded in three days with producer Jerry Wexler, ARETHA ARRIVES features an eclectic cross-section of covers, putting the Queen of Soul's spin on songs by the likes of ? & the Mysterians, the Rolling Stones, Ray Price and Frank Sinatra. Almost as impressive as her pure, gospel-flavored vocals was Franklin's piano, which she played, despite a broken elbow, on seven of 11 tracks.
