This is a truly
great record... not to be missed! And this is the nicest copy I've yet had in the store (only three in the last 15 years!). Not only do you get the fantastic original version of the classic that the Stones were quick to cover and hit with just a month later, but on the Sam Cooke-penned flip is an absolute gem—a shining example of the blending of doo-wop and soul, which just happens to be one of my very favorite (though still unnamed) genres. In fact, I give both of these tracks 5 stars in my iTunes library, which translates to a 2-star recommendation on Classic 45s (our highest). Note: This beautiful copy's A label grades a strong EX, reflecting light ringwear and a very light stain (see scan); the B label is Near Mint, with only very faint ringwear in one spot. This copy's vinyl, on the other hand, looks brand new, grading Mint. We're grading the audio Near Mint just to be cautious... the inherent vinyl surface noise is just barely audible on the A side, though the B side sounds pristine. In any case, the audio is so much better than my previous recordings that I'll have to make new ones when this baby sells. :-)
