Talk about a two-sided smash! This one's got two of Mary Well's very best hits on it, with Holland-Dozier-Holland taking the honors on the A side and Smokey handling the flip. By the way, it's "Sweetest Boy" that Dave Marsh includes in his list of the 1,001 greatest Rock'n'Soul 45s. This is only the fourth original pressing of this great Motown single I've had in the store since opening in 2001, and it's the nicest of the four! This was a non-album single that only appeared on a later Greatest Hits album. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Motown Records factory sleeve. It features pristine Mint sound on both sides! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
