If you're dumped by a true love, drowning in tears and need consolation - Percy Sledge will get the work done. With sixties hits like "When A Man Loves A Woman", "It Tears me Up", "Baby Help Me", "What Am I Living For" and "Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms)" it seems his musical persona was always a helpless victim of love. It's about those lonesome moments and feelings we're not proud of, but need to get it all out. Sentimental and covered by salty stains, but so well done it never gets slushy. This was his third album and the same procedure - slow movers with organ, soft brass and weeping guitars. Not everyday listening, but good to have available cause someday you may need it. US first on Atlantic (8146). The British mono issue uses the US tapes and the audio is perfect. First press had label as shown here and fully laminated cover with design unique to UK. (ÄTHP*)(PÖCY*)
