Fools Fall In Love/ It Was A Tear

I've been looking for this great early Drifters single for years! Finally found a really nice copy, and hearing Clyde McPhatter's load vocal, the group's terrific backup, and Leiber-Stoller's spot-on production has made the search well worth the effort! Incidentally, after their 1955 version of "White Christmas," this was the Drifters' first appearance on the Bilozoard Hot 100 chart? though they had had years of huge hits in the black market.Note: This single is from a large collection we've purchased whose records typically have mint audio and near-mint vinyl. The labels are near mint as well, but the owner had a habit of writing a date in small print on the B side label. Note: In this instance, the record's audio is EX.
