Crying/ Candy Man

This great double-sided smash from Roy Orbison comes with the most amazing and unusual picture sleeve. Straight from the playbook of 1960s pop-art design, it's a fitting companion for other 1960s pop-design icons like the Pink Panther art or the credits for movies like It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

The picture sleeve is beautiful, except for the wrinkling along the top edge. Sadly, the record itself doesn't quite match the sleeve's overall quality. The label has a sticker on the A side, and a small sticker on the flip. The audio is only VG on the A side, though it's EX on the B side.
