Fools Fall In Love / Lonely Winds

Originally released on Atlantic 1123. 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/RnB market. With Clyde McPhatter singing lead, this one is always a thrill to revisit, so I'm adding an mp3 "snippet" of it in case you don't already know its great pleasures. This is a beautiful copy of the gold/black label Atlantic Oldies reissue, in its factory sleeve. Collector Nerd Alert: The label incorrectly lists the long title "Fools Fall In Love In A Hurry", whereas the original leaves off after 4 words.
