Franklin's Columbia Years
Box set features
works before
defining hits
w
(AP) — Aretha Franklin's unher­
alded reco rd in g s at C olum bia
Records will get another perspec­
tive with an expansive 12-disc box
set that makes the argument that the
Queen of Soul was already royalty
before her career-defining hits at
Atlantic Records.
"The conventional wisdom is that
Columbia failed to see that this was
a singular artist with a universal
vision, that her material was mis­
matched with her talent, that her
arrangers were too heavy-handed,"
said Leo Sacks, producer of "Take a
Look: Aretha Franklin Complete on
Columbia," due out March 22.
"There were enough moments at
Columbia where it's clear that she
came very close to catching the
moment, and 1 think the listener is
going to have to make their own
judgment to see whether herColum-
bia years have been unfairly dimin­
ished."
Franklin, 68, arrived at C olum ­
bia in 1960, when she was 18 years
old. There, she recorded jazz and
pop standards, and music histori­
ans have often dism issed her work
at the label in com parison to her
explosion five years later at A t­
lantic R ecords, w here she re ­
corded her biggest hits, like "Re­
spect," and became known as the

Queen of Soul.
The box set of 11 music CDs and
one DVD takes listeners through
songs like "Take a Look," "Unfor­
gettable" and "O f Man River."
Though some material is unreleased
and includes rehearsal and alter­
nate takes. Sacks acknowledges that
much of it has been previously re­
leased.
"Aretha's Columbia years have
been picked over more times than a
Barney's warehouse sale, and there
isn't anything in this collection that
hasn't been worn previously," he
joked this week. "But there are
enough unexpected surprises in
these CDs, including many rare mono
mixes and unissued performances,
that show how close she came to
stardom."
Franklin has recently undergone
surgery for an ailment she hasn't
disclosed, but she told talk-show
host Wendy Williams last week that
her health is "superb."
