Percy Sledge

The Percy Sledge volume of Warner U.K.'s Platinum Collection series is nearly identical to Rhino's It Tears Me Up: The Best of Percy Sledge, albeit with a different track order. All of the hits are here ("Take Time to Know Her," "Warm and Tender Love," "Sudden Stop," and, of course, "When a Man Loves a Woman"), as well as numerous album cuts and less popular singles, making it the perfect entry point for new listeners and a great anthology for longtime fans.

Rhino Handmade unveils the first comprehensive collection of Percy Sledge's recordings for Atlantic. This four-disc set spans 1966-74 with 104 songs, including both studio and live recordings as well as several rare and unreleased tracks. The music, arranged mostly in chronological order, offers a richly detailed portrait of the King of Country Soul’s career following the massive success of “When A Man Loves A Woman.” In fact, the song is featured twice, opening the collection with the well-known studio version and closing it with an alternate take recorded during the same session.
