This is an unusually nice copy of the Doo Wop classic, which also has a terrific uptempo flip. The recordings were first released on Hull 720, earlier in 1956. The Rama 45 was pressed with a number of variations. This one has silver print on a red label, with the Rama logo surrounded by clouds at the top. By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels... really gorgeous! The vinyl has some light scuffing, grading below Near Mint, but the strong audio sounds Near Mint with just a touch of underlying surface noise. (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy has no ringwear at all.)
