Here's a beautiful copy of this doo-wop classic from the first pressing, with a Maroon Mercury label. Nicest copy I've ever had in the store. Note: The label itself is nearly flawless, but has a faint stain on the right-hand side (A side only), where a small sticker was removed (you can't really see it in the scan). Included is a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve.
