"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.

"Etta James' debut album, originally released in 1961 on Chess subsidiary label, Argo. The album's title track 'At Last' and 'All I Could Do Was Cry' (co-written by future Motown mogul Berry Gordy) both went to No. 2 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. The four bonus tracks are taken from two 1960 singles featuring doo-wop idol Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows (best known for their 1955 hit 'Sincerely')." On 180 gram vinyl, with CD version.
