This is an original stock copy from the
Louise Neal 45 Collection. The Metallics were an L.A. doo-wop group, and this classic but rare single managed to "bubble under" the National Bilozoard chart in 1962. This is the second pressing, which has a "ribbon" on the label (first pressings apparently do not). Note: This 45 is among those in the Neal collection that she may have actually played, and which apparently spent some of their life outside a protective sleeve. The labels grade Near Mint with just a touch of ringwear (see scan). The vinyl (styrene) grades EX to reflect some scuffing and light scratches, as a result of which the audio also grades EX. Though clear and undistorted, the audio does have some surface noise and an occasional "pop," but it's still great to listen to!
