LIMITED EDITION 140GRAM HIGH-QUALITY VIRGIN VINYL.
This outstanding Chess album was released in 1976, when Etta James wasn’t ruling the charts but wasn’t adverse to the idea of climbing back into the Top 40. Etta Is Betta Than Evvah! bears a boastful title and its ten funky cuts do not lack for bravado. With this album Etta James ended her richly prolific & wildly successful Chess Records tenure. It is a classic mix of new deeply soulful gems like the funky opener “Woman (Shake Your Booty)”.
