This is a beautiful copy of the first pressing, on the maroon and silver Imperial label. Besides the classic A side, the uptempo flip (which hit #50 on the pop charts) is a terrific Domino rarity. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Imperial Records factory sleeve. The Near Mint labels have a couple of faint spots of ringwear (see scan). The vinyl also looks Near Mint, with just some very light scuffing. And although the vinyl has some light surface noise on the trail-in, the audio itself — on both sides — is Near Mint, with no audible noise.
