Atlantic Rhythm & Blues Box - One of the Greatest
Pros: Unbelievable Retrospective of Atlantic Records
Cons: None
Were I to get into the details of all of the fabulous music on this compilation, my review here would be as long as the text of the fantastic booklet that comes with the box. Probably it would be tedious as well, since it would be an example of overusing superlatives.
