Mind Over Matter (I'm Gonna Make You Mine)/ Beside You

This is one of those amazing recordings that shows a group halfway between doo-wop and soul. Essential music! As Dave Marsh notes in his writeup on the song, the song is important because it provides a clear prophecy of "Keith Richards' guitar style, circa December's Children." Once you listen to the snippet a few times, you gotta admit it's kind of spooky! Note that the label only credits Nolan Strong. Note: The clean and shiny silver type on this copy against the dark blue background mask a couple of imperfections on the A side (only): Someone has made a couple of white marks (see scan), and there are two dark-penned numbers (hard to see except in close examination). The audio strikes me as near-mint despite some light background noise.
