From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. Here, Esther Phillips does a beautiful version of Percy Sledge's 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. This recording is worth the price of admission for the terrific drumming alone... And in this version, the vocal and arrangement build to an unbearably beautiful climax that Percy's original can't touch.
