Atlantic R&B 1947–1974 (reissue)

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

8 jewel cases in a simple cardboard slipcase

cat# is per discogs, doesn't appear as such anywhere on cover art that I can see. Nor does the label "Atlantic" appear anywhere other than the title. The only other logo besides Rhino is the "Warner Platinum" series logo.

Disc liners are the only notes, simple two-parge credits lists, so no helpful metadata. All disc liners carry the following note:

"In previous editions wrong takes were used on some songs.
In this edition, the proper takes have been used in all cases."

According to this extensive review, that was already fixed as of the 1991 US reissue
