First Taste of Love by Ben E. King
Label: Atco 6185
Year: 1961
Condition: M-
Price: $40.00
I'm assuming that everyone out there knows the unbelievably classic "Spanish Harlem," either in its first version by Ben E. King or by the amazing version Aretha Franklin recorded a decade later. But I suspect that not many have had the pleasure of this single's B side, so I'm sticking a snippet of it in the jukebox for you. "First Taste of Love" is more uptempo than "Spanish Harlem," features surprising, doo-wop-style backup vocals, and was cowritten by none other than Phil Spector. (That B side, by the way, is a non-album tune.) Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. It has a very nearly Mint A side label, but the B side has some writing on it. The vinyl itself looks untouched, and it's blessed with pristine Mint sound.
