This budget CD boxset contains Chaka's first 5 solo albums from 1978-1984, including 1982's 'Chaka Khan' that's been long out of print and only available in this set. It can be got for under $20. That's about what I used to pay for one CD in the '90s. They just given the music away for free these days. Get it while you can.

Does this originate in the US or the UK?

It originates from the UK. But I've seen it for sale, new, on Amazon and eBay from US sellers.

The Very Best of Rufus featuring Chaka Khan is also a good album. It includes Do You Love What You Feel, You Got the Love, Once You Get Started, Please Pardon Me, Sweet Thing, Hollywood, Stay, Tell Me Something Good and others. My favorite Rufus albums are Rufusized and Ask Rufus.

I'm really surprised that there was never a more comprehensive Rufus compilation released in the U.S. There was, however, another Rufus compilation released in Europe many years ago entitled "Tell Me Something Good: The Best of Rufus & Chaka Khan" that included all of the hits and delved a lot further into their catalog.

Europe, the UK in particular has always seemed to hold black music in higher esteem than the US.

Heads up, I just recently got this set for $9.98 from insound.com. They have some good prices on other CDs and sets, too. (I'm in the U.S.)

Anyone else dig Everybody Has an Aura? Among many overlooked gems IMO.

Yes! Amazing song! Probably my favorite from the album, right next to "Fool's Paradise".

$9.98??? What a steal! However, the recent expanded version of "What Cha Gonna Do For Me" is an absolute must!

No. The expanded edition CD was released by Big Break Records last year.

Thanks for all your replies, am working through all the recommendations and it's all sounding great so far.

Will keep coming back to this thread to get schooled in Chaka as noticed she has been announced for some UK festivals in June so hope she adds a proper London date around then that I can get to and see it all live!
