This is the album that proved a man of his talents could waltz into Nashville's backyard and emerge with something genuinely glorious. Hand-numbered and limited to just 500 copies, this is the sort of record that makes your collection feel properly curated rather than merely assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Recording\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Genre Defying Masterpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charles took country standards and reimagined them through the lens of R and B, pop, and jazz. The result feels neither fish nor fowl, but rather something utterly fetching that shouldn't work but absolutely does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpeccable Collaborators:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recorded at Capitol Studios and United Western Recorders, this album features saxophonist Hank Crawford, a string section conducted by Marty Paich, and arrangements by Gil Fuller and Gerald Wilson. The musicianship is quite the showstopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Landmark Recording:\u003c\/strong\u003e Critics have since deemed this his finest studio album and a landmark moment in American music. It's the sort of thing that transforms from good record into cultural artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeautifully Pressed Vinyl:\u003c\/strong\u003e This 180 gram clear and red splatter edition is hand-pressed, meaning each copy possesses its own unique character. No two albums are quite identical, which feels rather fitting for something this special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial and Critical Success:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upon release, the album and its four hit singles brought Charles mainstream recognition across both R and B and country radio. People rather liked it then, and they rather like it now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inch vinyl album in coloured vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight and Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 gram pressing for superior sound and durability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand numbered, limited to 500 copies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second Records\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRPD0021SP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 10, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide One:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bye Bye Love, You Don't Know Me, Half as Much, I Love You So Much It Hurts, Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go a Long Way), Born to Lose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worried Mind, It Makes No Difference Now, You Win Again, Careless Love, I Can't Stop Loving You, Hey Good Lookin'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: each vinyl possesses its own unique appearance due to the hand pressing process.
