Ben E. King
Rough Edges
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1970 Heavy Vinyl Original. Can't Confirm Press Info. Hard To Find With No Cuts! "Count Your Blessings If You Find A Copy Of This Rare Bird. This Ben E. King LP On Larry Maxwell's Maxwell Label Interrupted A String Of ATCO Releases. Limited Sales Made It A One-Off And King Began Another String Of Albums For The ATCO Family On Atlantic Records. The Bob Crewe Production Finds The Ex-drifters Lead Singing With Fervor On Songs The Likes Of Which He Never Sniffed At While Recording For ATCO. Actually A Hodgepodge, Lighter Efforts Like "Little Green Apples," The Much-Recorded "She Lets Her Hair Down," And The Emoting "Lay Lady Lay" Buffer King's Straight-up Renditions Of The Beatles' "Come Together" And Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour." But There's No Attempt To Re-create His Popular Solo Or Drifters Recordings; That Coupled With A Weak Promotional Effort Made Rough Edges An Early Entry In The Cutout Bins. Scarcity, However, Has Made The Price Of A Copy In Mint Condition Worth Significantly More." AMG Review By Andrew Hamilton.
