Stranger on the Shore/ Cielito Lindo

This is not a particularly valuable record, but it's one of my personal favorites and is on my perpetual hunt list everywhere I shop. It's easy to find copies in trashed condition, but finding one with Near Mint or better audio has proven difficult. Note that we give this one a 2-star recommendation: That means, if you're a fan of Easy Listening or Pop Instrumentals, you must have a copy of this single. Even if you're not, I think you'll like it... such a gorgeous clarinet tone, what's not to like? After all, note that it was also a hit on the Black/RnB singles chart in 1962... quite a broad appeal. Credits include "with the Leon Young Chorale." This appears to have been a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. The A label looks Mint, while the B label has a small numbered sticker on it. The vinyl looks almost untouched. The audio grades very close to Mint with a bare minimum of surface noise.
