For its second Quadio release, Rhino Handmade gives “Respect” to one of the greatest singers of all time with a reissue of The Best Of Aretha Franklin, a collection of stone-classic soul music that was released in 1973 exclusively in Quadraphonic. Out-of-print for decades, this music-only DVD features unique quad mixes by legendary producer Tom Dowd that have not been available since the original release.

Featuring four channels of 24-bit, 96 kHz audio (down-scalable to 24-bit, 48 kHz), this DTS DVD is to be played in a DVD player with Surround Sound in order to enjoy the Quadraphonic mix as intended. The release does not include a two-channel stereo mix.

THE BEST OF ARETHA FRANKLIN (QUADRAPHONIC MIX) contains 12 tracks, including an extended version of “Rock Steady” with music by the Memphis Horns that was cut from the stereo version and can only be heard in this Quadraphonic mix. The disc also includes a rare version of “Chain Of Fools” with an extended introduction. This version was released in stereo in 1995 as part of Rhino’s expanded edition of Lady Soul.

These songs spotlight Franklin during her white-hot run with Atlantic Records and capture the singer at the pinnacle of her hitmaking prowess. The collection opens with “Respect,” a song that topped both the Pop and R&B charts in 1967 and went on to become the singer’s signature hit. The disc gathers many of the Queen of Soul’s crown jewels and accounts for no less than eight #1 R&B hits, including “Baby, I Love You,” “Spanish Harlem,” “Don’t Play That Song, “Call Me,” and a cover of the Simon and Garfunkel ballad “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

I think stuff like this is very cool.

I have spent a bit of time with this disc, and I am really enjoying it. While the Quad aspect is cool, the best thing about it is hearing the full takes of some of these Aretha classics. Chain of Fools has a great intro that was chopped off of the version we are all familiar with. Rock Steady has an amazing tempo slow down at the end. There are other differences as well. And the sound is superb. For those of you who have multi-channel playback systems, I strongly recommend that you get this disc before the "handmade" supplies are gone.

4 thumbs up (....it is quad after all).

When was the last time a Rhino handmade product sold out. I would have thought the Birds, Bees and the Monkees box would have sold out by now or the Chicago Quad. Just checked and the Chicago Quad has a stamp on it saying less than 100 left! Glad I have one... now I better buy this Aretha!!!
I think Rhino has wised up and produced more of their handmade than they used too.
