Big Break Gets It Right with Expanded Reissues of Two Aretha Franklin Arista Albums

April 17, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

As we welcome the expanded release of Aretha Franklin's Who's Zoomin' Who? from Funky Town Grooves today, it's a thrill to report two more expansions of Aretha's underrepresented Arista material on CD from Big Break Records. The label will release 1982's Jump to It and 1983's Get It Right on May 21 with a total of nine bonus tracks, all single edits, dance mixes and instrumentals.

After her first two cover-heavy LPs for Clive Davis' label, the Queen of Soul elected to take things in a more modern direction, collaborating with rising star Luther Vandross on a clutch of danceable tracks. The title song was her first Top 40 hit in the U.S. in six years, and it earned her a Grammy Award nomination. While Get It Right, also produced by Vandross with longtime collaborator Marcus Miller joining him in writing half of the album's eight tracks, did not match its predecessor in terms of commercial success, it still boasts a lot of fan favorites, including the title track, "Every Girl (Wants My Guy)" and a cover of The Temptations' "I Wish It Would Rain."

If this pattern continues, fans may yet see reissues of underrated '80s smashes like 1986's Aretha, featuring "I Knew You Were Waiting for Me," her powerhouse duet with George Michael. In the meantime, you can preorder the new discs at Amazon U.K. and check out the track lists after the jump.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
