Aretha Franklin is the "Queen of Soul"....she can sing the phone book and make it interesting.

Btw, Aretha's early hits will be released on Mobile Fidelity SACD later this month.

屬於Sony Music的Funky Town Grooves這個Label，近年來陸續在reissue一些舊大碟，除了強調Re-Mastered from the ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES之外，也加入了當初發行single的remix versions。Through The Storm今年正好是發行25週年，下個月將會有一個2 CD Deluxe Edition發行。從目前發佈的tracklisting看來，我要考慮一下是否購入，因為除了已經有美版大碟(請參考本人在樓上所貼的照片)，新增加的remixes其實集中在與James Brown合唱的Gimme Your Love，以及與Whitney Houston合唱的It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be的各種remix versions，尤其是第二碟幾乎可以說是It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be的remix album，主要的remix我已經有了黑膠版本。

下個月還會發行Aretha(1986)這張大碟。Aretha Franklin超過50年的演唱生涯據說有三張大碟都用Aretha當作Title，1986年這一張的CD版本其實不太好找，大碟發行時我仍然處於cassette時期，等到後來開始改聽CD時，已經找不到CD版本，Amazon也沒有賣，我後來是在eBay買到了美版，碟片竟然是Manufactured In Japan For Arista Records, Inc.，應該是最早的版本。1986年算是CD發展階段的初期，美國幾家大廠當時好像大多都沒有CD壓片廠，所以Made In Japan的大碟不少。

Aretha(1986)這張大碟前後發行了I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)、Jumpin' Jack Flash、Jimmy Lee，以及Rock-A-Lott四首單曲，其中與George Michael合唱的I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)是No. 1 single，Jumpin' Jack Flash則是The Rolling Stones的經典歌曲，Queen of Soul的cover version則找來The Rolling Stones的Keith Richard製作，12" Single的cover就可以看到兩人合照。下個月將發行的2 CD Deluxe Edition除了原始大碟的9首歌之外，當然還有前面提到的四首single的所有remixes。後面的照片中，就是這張美版大碟，以及Jumpin' Jack Flash、Jimmy Lee，和Rock-A-Lott的US 12" Single，其中Jimmy Lee是Promo version，I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)的12" single已經出現在前面Through The Storm的照片中。另外，Aretha(1986)這張大碟的cover art以及內頁的素描，都是Andy Warhol的作品。

以下是這個Deluxe Edition的tracklisting，CD 2最後的那首Aretha Megamix，原本是Jimmy Lee的12" Single的B2，包括Who's Zommin' Who、Another Night、Integrity以及Freeway of Love四首歌：

CD 1
1. Jimmy Lee
2. I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)
3. Do You Still Remember
4. Jumpin' Jack Flash
5. Rock-A-Lott
6. An Angel Cries

8. If You Need My Love Tonight

11. Rock-A-Lott (Single Mix)
12. Rock-A-Lott (Radio Edit)
13. Rock-A-Lott (Dub)
14. Rock-A-Lott (Acapella)

Funky Town Grooves已經在2年前發行了Who's Zommin' Who的Expanded Edition，2 CD除了原始大碟的9首歌之外，還收錄了Freeway of Love、Another Night、Who's Zommin' Who、Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves以及Ain't Nobody Ever Loved You五首歌的remixes，remastered的品質不錯，希望Aretha(1986)也有同樣好的品質。下面的照片中，是Who's Zommin' Who的Expanded Edition，以及Freeway of Love、Another Night、Who's Zommin' Who的US 12" Single。
