All I can say is, "Wow!" I've had a number of copies of this original Mercury pressing over the years, some of which look Near Mint but play EX... always a disappointment. With this copy, I've finally hit the jackpot: Not only does it have Mint-looking labels (no notable flaws), but the audio is achingly beautiful in its pristine state. Another bucket list item off my list! Don't neglect the worthy B side number as well. "Sea Of Love" is one of those recordings whose sound represents traditional RnB Doo-Wop blending with the emerging church-infused style that would become known as Soul: One of my favorite musical hybrids! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve. As noted, this copy gets Mint grades for its gorgeous labels and audio. The vinyl itself grades Near Mint, reflecting faint storage wear or perhaps light use. The vinyl's inherent, very light surface noise is inaudible once the music starts.
