Atlantic Records is one of the most important record labels of all time and would become best known for its soul output in the Sixties. This compilation focuses on the artists signed in 1961-’62, who were on the cusp of this switch, which included The Drifters, The Isley Brothers, LaVern Baker and Ronnie Dio. There’s no denying the music released by Atlantic at this time had a magic all of its own.
