"Etta James' extraordinary transition from bawdy, romping teenage R&B brat to one of the key female originators of classic smoldering 60's soul was a madcap escapade full of controversy, fireworks and high times. A stunning natural born talent whose earliest recordings showcased her gorgeous set of blues-belting pipes to tremendous advantage, James consistently demonstrated a preternatural depth, one that really came into its own with this revered 1960 set. Her first full length album, it's an audacious mix of pop and jazz standards served up with a twist of blues, and all are artfully rendered to perfection. A brilliant, unpredictable vocalist, James' fluid, graceful phrasing showcases a rare, instinctive prowess, one that effortlessly ranges from a steam heated murmur to the glorious, sweeping highs that made At Last a stone classic."

2019 repress. "Etta James debut LP originally released in 1960, featuring the classic hit song 'At Last'. Blues, soul, jazz, R&B and rock vocalist Etta James needs no introduction. An icon from early rock'n'rolls pantheon of divas, she has inspired five decades of listeners and fellow artists with her vocal stylings. From Janis Joplin to Beyonce, her expressive and guttural style has been imitated, but never quite matched. Jackpot Records is honored to release this momentous record with the original album artwork and 4 bonus tracks (previously only available on CD)."

2019 repress. Etta James's debut album, originally released in 1961 on the Chess subsidiary Argo Records. The album's title-track and "All I Could Do Was Cry" (co-written by future Motown founder Berry Gordy) both went to number two on the R&B charts, while the album itself has gone down in history as one of the great classic albums of early R&B. Bonus tracks "My Heart Cries," "Spoonful," "It's a Crying Shame," and "If I Can't Have You" are taken from two 1960 singles featuring doo-wop idol Harvey Fuqua of The Moonglows (best known for their 1954 hit "Sincerely"). Pressed on 180-gram vinyl; includes CD.

"Tell Mama by Etta James was originally released in 1968 and it put her back in the top 10 with the single 'Tell Mama.' Produced by Rick Hall at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, this album is a stone cold soul/blues classic from start to finish. Standout tracks include the title track, a cover of Otis Redding's 'Security,' 'I'd Rather Go Blind,' and 'Don't Lose Your Good Thing.' Easily one of the best albums of her long career it is now being reissued on 180-gram vinyl in glorious mono!"

When Etta James passed away in early 2012, the tributes and plaudits flooded the world. Gone forever was the soul diva and legend, the peerless and seemingly indomitable, screaming, bawling R&B siren who had seen off several near death experiences with dangerous substances and even more dangerous men. This short and sweet set of six songs spread across three 45rpm records captures various key snapshots in Etta's early career. We hear the sassy teenaged delinquent on "That's All," the snarling rock and roll mama on "Tough Lover" and her signature: "At Last."

2018 repress. "Best known for the lush 1961 rendition of the ballad 'At Last' - a slow-dance staple at wedding celebrations everywhere, she is also celebrated for having recorded one of the best live albums of all time, Rocks the House. Recorded in 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, James is captured at her performance peak. The foundation for her reputation as a fiery no-holds-barred performer was firmly established in this recording. Blues, soul, jazz, R&B, and rock vocalist Etta James, needs no introduction. An icon from early rock'n'roll's pantheon of divas, she has inspired 5 decades of listeners and fellow artists with her vocal stylings. From Janis Joplin to Beyonce, her expressive and guttural style has been imitated but never quite matched. Jackpot Records is honored to release this momentous record on stellar blue vinyl, with the original album artwork and including 3 bonus tracks which have only ever been released previously on CD."

This is the fourth album by the Soul Queen Etta James, originally released in 1962, and this is her tribute to love and the lovers. Here also on CD for the first time ever. This rare gem of a collection of love songs in the soul-funky style is one of the best records ever made, and you won't believe it was made more than 50 years ago, so clear and real is its message.

"Considered by many to be her best album, 1961's The Second Time Around, found Etta James performing a string of pop hits from the 1940s in an attempt to crossover to a wider audience. Songs like 1948's 'It's Too Soon to Know' (the first rock 'n' roll song ever), or 1946's 'Fool That I Am' (covered by Adele in 2009), were both brought to life again here by James. The album's biggest hit however, was 1929's 'Don't Cry Baby,' first recorded by the empress of the blues, and James' idol, Bessie Smith." 180 gram vinyl. Comes with a CD of the album.
