Most of the titles have previously been released on vinyl, although three modern albums, Gayle’s A Study in the Human Experience, Christina Perry’s Lovestrong and Kehlani’s Cloud 19, are receiving their first-time LP pressings as part of the campaign.
The first 60 titles are available now. Among them are Aretha Franklin’s Lady Soul, Yes’ Fragile, Lizzo’s Special and Cuz I Love You, Dusty Springfield’s Dusty in Memphis, Ed Sheeran’s Divide, and The Velvet Underground’s Loaded.
Albums yet to be reissued in the series include Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin IV, pressed on clear 180g vinyl and arriving 27 October. Coming on 20 October is Coldplay’s A Head Full of Dreams, on 140g coloured/recycled vinyl and with a bonus track, Something Just Like This, a collaboration with the Chainsmokers.
“Our 75th anniversary has given us an incredible opportunity to revisit the amazing range and depth of the music that Atlantic has released across the decades,” said Atlantic chairman-CEO Craig Kallman in a statement. “These 90 albums are not only an extraordinary musical journey through the years, but a cultural one as well, reflecting a series of seismic social shifts… It’s been a true labor of love, and the perfect celebration of this landmark anniversary.”
