This is one pf the nicest copies of this classic 45 I've yet had in the store... it's so hard to find in this condition or better. By the way, the B side, an instrumental version of "Twist And Shout," is a great showcase for Ernie Isley's guitar wizardry. Rather than "Spanish Twist," though, Ernie's picking makes me think it could just as easily have been called "Surfin' Twist." Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Wand Records factory sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with a light touch of ringwear. Despite some scuffing on the vinyl (styrene) surface, the Near Mint audio is notable for its clarity and near-total absence of underlying surface noise.
