Rhino to Get Warm and Tender for Percy Sledge in New Box Set (UPDATED 11/26)

November 26, 2010 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Rhino Handmade's next big title is a box set devoted to Percy Sledge's tenure with Atlantic Records.

Before he was the "King of Country Soul," Sledge was an Alabama-born former hospital worker, playing with a soul combo on weekends. In 1966 he signed to Atlantic, and, following a break-up with a longtime girlfriend, recorded a simple, heartfelt single, "When a Man Loves a Woman." The impassioned, off-the-cuff delivery (an entirely honest one - Sledge improvised the lyrics on the spot) helped propel the song to No. 1 around the world. Sledge enjoyed other Top 40 hits for the rest of his Atlantic tenure, but it's "When a Man Loves a Woman" that he'll forever be associated with.

But Rhino Handmade will offer fans the opportunity to learn more about the music of Percy Sledge. The Atlantic Recordings is a four-disc set compiling Sledge's four albums, scores of single sides and material released in limited quantities in other parts of the world and unreleased tracks. It will be presented roughly in the order in which each track was recorded, spanning from 1966 to 1974. Highlights include all the hard-to-find non-LP B-sides and single versions, a live show from Johannesburg, South Africa in 1970, a rare Christmas single and two versions of the track that made him an immortal.

You can order it here and read the track list after the jump.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
