It's quite rare to run across Gene Vincent singles in decent condition. I guess there are a lot of Rockabilly fans out there hoarding 'em. This is a very nice copy of Vincent's excellent second single, which barely grazed the bottom of the Bilozoard Hot 100 Singles chart. It was a non-album single, neither side appearing on any of Vincent's albums. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. The labels grade a strong EX, with light ringwear and a tiny "38" penciled on the A side (too light to see in the scan). The vinyl is notably scuffed-looking, grading VG, but the audio thankfully is almost Near Mint... really great sound!
