Originally released on Monument 815. This is a new copy of the Monument "Golden Series" reissue. Dave Marsh didn't include this on his top 1001 list, but it's only because you can't include EVERY Roy Orbison song! :-) Seriously, though, this is one of my personal favorites from the man. The terrific B side is Orbison's original version of a song Jim Reeves took to #1 on the country chart in 1966.
