Ride Away/ Wondering

This is one of Orbison's best songs, yet is hardly ever played — as it wasn't when released. By the time he moved to MGM from Monument, the singer's star had begun to wane, and 1964's "Oh, Pretty Woman" was his last (and biggest) Top 10 hit. Still, this single hit the Top 30, higher than any of his later MGM singles. Note: This single has near-mint audio, but I've downgraded it because there are a couple of "pops" near the beginning. The picture sleeve has an equally great photo of the artist on the B side, showing him zooming away on a motorcycle! That side has a tiny square sticker at the top, with the number "36" printed on it. All of the MGM sleeves are pretty hard to find.
