There were two versions of this song recorded--the hit version on this original 45 is different from the one most oldies stations play these days. It doesn't have the louder/softer repeated chorus thing. But this single isn't great just because of the famous A side... The B side is a real sleeper, and its charms led Dave Marsh to include it at #289 in his 1001 list, right after the A side at #288!
Note: This single is from a large collection we've purchased whose records typically have mint audio and near-mint vinyl. The labels are near mint as well, but the owner had a habit of writing a date in small print on the B side label.
