The Wind/ Sally Green

The original 1954 version by the Diablos, featuring Norman Strong on lead, is listed at #67 in Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles of Rock 'n' Soul. (Trivia warning! Nolan Strong was one of Barrett Strong's cousins.) Note: This single is from a large collection we've purchased whose records typically have mint or near-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. In this case, he also wrote the track's time on the A side (see scan). The A side audio is EX ? mainly because its soft nature makes reveals every pop and click, no matter how faint ? but the uptempo flip is a solid M-.
