It's 'Blue Bayou' that's listed at #403 in Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles... although the A side is no wallflower by any means. Of course, "Blue Bayou" is one of the few essential Roy Orbison tracks that you can't find on new vinyl anymore. This copy has a near-mint label and vinyl, and the audio is excellent but does have audible surface noise in the softer passages. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
