I first heard this great Van McCoy tune in a cover version by Elvis Costello, who had released it in 1980 on an obscure single and then on the "Taking Liberties" LP collection. What a treat to hear the glorious Mint audio on this original 1964 version by Betty Everett! Check out the mp3 "snippet" in our "jukebox." By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with a drillhole. The vinyl looks Near Mint, and the audio sounds pristine Mint! (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
