For the first time ever, Percy Sledge's Atlantic recordings have been brought together in one comprehensive four-disc set by Rhino Handmade. The Atlantic Recordings is set to be released on December 13.

The first three discs in the set feature his singles and a sampling of album cuts from his four albums When A Man Loves A Woman, Warm And Tender Soul (both 1966), The Percy Sledge Way (1967), and Take Time To Know Her (1968). That's followed by a number of rare and live tracks including a number that were only released on albums overseas.

The set ends with five live tracks from his 1970 tour of South Africa where he played for 17 weeks. Bookending the set are the original version of his smash, When a Man Loves a Woman, along with an alternate take.

The package includes a 60-page velvet-wrapped book with rare and unseen photographs.
