It Tears Me Up/ Heart Of A Child

This single has your typical Percy Sledge deep soul ballad on the A side, which is quite wonderful and deserved to be a top 10 hit back in 1966. But hidden on the B side is a track that surely turns the Northern Soul dance clubs on fire when it's played. Just a wonderful beat, gorgeous melody, and great singing! What more could you want? Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl show faint signs of storage wear, grading Near Mint. I am delighted to report that the audio on both sides is pristine Mint! I'll probably have to re-record the song, since I don't think I've ever had a copy with such flawless audio. (The mp3 snippet you can play is a representative sample from our archives; I apologize for not recording a new snippet for this occasion. :-)
