Besides the classic A side, this single is doubly wonderful because of the great garage-rock nugget hiding on the B side. Note: This beautiful styrene pressing, which has particularly nice typesetting, comes in a vintage Dunhill/ABC Records factory sleeve (see scan). Not visible in the scan is a small stain on the lower left where a sticker was removed. The wax looks untouched, and the A side audio sounds pristine; the B side audio has faint distortion and grades a strong Excellent.
