Digitally remastered set from the Soul great featuring her complete recordings for the Atco and Atlantic labels, which previously came out only in a hard-to-find limited edition. The title, Child of the Seventies, is taken from a complete album that Bettye (or Betty, as she was known back then) recorded for Atco back in November 1972; produced by Brad Shapiro, it's a raw soul masterpiece that the label inexplicably decided not to release. But that's only the beginning of the gems that await you on this set: among the 10 bonus tracks are two tracks ("Waiting for Tomorrow" and "Livin' Life on a Shoestring") that were previously unreleased until their debut here, plus single versions (including a mono version of the brilliant "Your Turn to Cry") of album tracks and six more single sides, 22 deeply soulful tracks in all! David Nathan's notes follow the long and winding road these recordings took to being released.
