On this self-penned tune, her first appearance on vinyl, Wells shows a much more aggressive style than the one Motown fashioned for her later on. She really trashes that nasty old lover of hers! This early Motown single has the "stripes" label (see scan). Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels with just a hint of ringwear. The vinyl looks Near Mint as well, but the audio has a touch of underlying surface noise, grading a strong EX.
