One of the first—and very best—Elvis impersonations. In fact, this ranks as one of the King's greatest recordings! (Just kidding... Twitty's vocal here is unforgettable.) The flip is very worthy, too. Note: This beautiful-looking copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. Although it has Near Mint labels with just a touch of ringwear, and Near Mint-looking vinyl, the audio has a distracting "static" that would earn it a VG grade if sustained through the performance, but fortunately the audio improves to Near Mint at audio peaks and a strong EX in the second verse. I'm grading the audio EX overall.
