NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The 50th anniversary of Aretha Franklin‘s arrival on the popular music scene is set for a major celebration in 2011. Signed to Columbia Records by the legendary John Hammond in the spring of 1960 (soon after her 18th birthday), Aretha released her debut album, Aretha (With The Ray Bryant Combo), on February 27, 1961. Her coming of age at Columbia as a young artist in New York
is one of the great stories in the annals of popular music, and set the
stage for her ascendance as the Queen of Soul at Atlantic Records.
TAKE A LOOK: ARETHA FRANKLIN COMPLETE ON COLUMBIA marks the first time that Aretha’s entire Columbia
output, including master takes, unissued performances, rare mono mixes
and studio conversations, have been preserved in one deluxe 12-disc (11
CDs + DVD) box set. The package is available for pre-order at www.arethafranklin.net in advance of its March 22, 2011, release at all physical and digital retail outlets through Columbia/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. The suggested retail price for the box is $169.98. To continue, Please click “MORE”!
