rsd 2016. First reissue of this classic single from 1965, with new picture sleeve and notes by Mike Stax (Ugly Things). "The Syndicats were formed in Tottenham in 1963. . . . [Producer Joe Meek] and The Syndicats gave the smooth Ben E King soul ballad a ghostly overhaul, festooning it with cobwebbed tack piano runs, lapping waves of volume-pedaled guitar and eerie backing vocals. Meek gave the band free rein for the B-side. . . . Getting into the group's 'anarchist R&B' spirit, the producer encouraged them to 'just go wild' -- which they duly did." --Mike Stax
