In addition to its A side, which ranks in the 30s on both the Dave Marsh and Rolling Stones lists, the B side also sits at #465 in Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 singles ever made, so this single makes that list TWICE! It's worth reminding Buddy Holly fans that the original 45 pressings sound much better than any reissues on vinyl (45 or LP) or CD that I've ever heard. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Brunswick Records factory sleeve. It has a mark on the A side label that lowers the Label grade to a strong EX. The vinyl looks almost untouched, and the audio is pristine Mint! (This scan is a representative image from our archives; it doesn't show the mark mentioned.)
