Walk On The Wild Side/ Somewhere In The Used To Be

This is a new, unplayed promo copy from the

collection, in its original picture sleeve. Here's a beautiful Mint promo copy of one of Benton's rarest singles, which just missed the Top 40 of Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart in 1962. The A side was included in the Columbia movie of the same name. Note: These beautiful white-label promos have no notable flaws, grading Mint in all respects (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The beautiful picture sleeve, one used for other Benton releases that sports an especially fine photo of the singer (smoking a cigarette, natch), has a tiny amount of storage wear, including light edge-wear. (We have two copies of this single and sleeve and will ship the nicest of the two sleeves to the first buyer.) (Note: I believe the retail copies of this release had a different picture sleeve design.)
