Etta James

Tell Mama

Chess 9269

Welcome!  This auction is for a reissue copy of Etta James's 1968 lp "Tell Mama."  This reissue was mastered by Greg Fulginiti at Artisan mastering.  The note on the back of the lp says "To preserve the integrity of the recording, the original monaural master was used for this reissue - portions of this recording were originally mixed to mono and then reprocessed to stereo for the original stereo release."  So, this is a full-bodied analogue mastering from the original mono tapes.     

I am starting this auction at $0.99.  If you want a nice mono copy of this classic, this is it.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Happy Bidding!

Vinyl Condition:  VG++ (Clean labels some a few light inaudible scuffs)

Jacket Condition:  VG++ (The upper left corner is a bit dinged, but otherwise very nice.)

This album was originally released by Cadet Records in 1968.  Here is the 4 star review from Allmusic.com

Review

by Bill Dahl

Leonard Chess dispatched Etta James to Muscle Shoals in 1967, and the move paid off with one of her best and most soul-searing Cadet albums. Produced by Rick Hall, the resultant album boasted a relentlessly driving title cut, the moving soul ballad "I'd Rather Go Blind," and sizzling covers of Otis Redding's "Security" and Jimmy Hughes' "Don't Lose Your Good Thing," and a pair of fine Don Covay copyrights. The skin-tight session aces at Fame Studios really did themselves proud behind Miss Peaches.
