Lightnin' Strikes/ Cryin' in the Street

Here's an especially beautiful copy of one of the quintessential Lou Christie records. If you aren't familiar with the U.K.'s Northern Soul community, you might be surprised to learn that this single is a popular dance number there. But then listen: The beat and arrangement here are pure Northern Soul! (Even if Christie's vocals aren't. :-) By the way, the label says the track is 2:44, but it's actually the same as the album track (3:00). Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
