At Last

Product Information

While the backing orchestra has that classic late 50's early 60's limited range, timbre, and ambiance which is typical of the era, Etta's voice is really well captured on most tracks, nicely revealing her power, range, and dynamics. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. From Janis Joplin to Beyonce, her expressive and guttural style has been imitated, but never matched.

Jackpot Records is honored to release this momentous record, with the original album artwork and 4 bonus tracks.Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. An icon from early rock’n’rolls pantheon of divas, she has inspired 5 decades of listeners and fellow artists with her vocal stylings.

Should this not be possible, – because the original tape is defective or has disappeared, for example – we do accept a first-generation copy. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source from which to master: CDs, LPs, digital files and even MP3s. Phil and Leonard Chess believed that James's voice had crossover pop potential, so with this debut album, they backed her with orchestral arrangements on many of the tracks.
