Additional notes
Album Notes: This excellent set of rare and unreleased recordings is the mother lode for fans of Aretha Franklin's classic Atlantic material. Its two discs are packed with demos, outtakes, and B-sides that represent Franklin, arguably, at her rawest, most dynamic, and most appealing. The set, arranged chronologically, begins with stripped-down demos from her 1966 debut, I NEVER LOVED A MAN THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU (including a smoking version of "Dr. Feelgood"), and continues through her early '70s recordings for Atlantic.
Album Reviews: No Depression (p.90) - "The opening track, her demo of 'I Never Loved A Man', will galvanize the most jaded soul fan, as will nearly every subsequent number on this two-disc set. Astonishing..."
