Ray Charles: The Atlantic Years treated to 7LP mono box set

The High Priest of Soul remastered in mono.

Following last month’s collection of John Coltrane’s mid-career Atlantic Records albums, Ray Charles’s seven studio albums on Atlantic will be treated to a deluxe vinyl box set.

As with the Coltrane set, these recordings have been remastered in mono “for the first time since the 1960s”. The set arrives in a cloth-bound wooden box, with 28 pages of photos, notes, credits and with replicated artwork and labels from the original studio albums. All seven LPs are pressed to 180g heavy-weight black vinyl.

Due on July 8, find the complete tracklist below and pre-order here.
