Here's a beautiful copy of the first pressing on the black Philips label. Note that Dave Marsh ranks this one pretty high on his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul: It really is essential to any complete collection of the best of the best. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Philips Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels with only a light touch of wear. I'm grading the Vinyl a strong EX to reflect mainly some ominous-looking scuffs on the B side. Fortunately, the scuffs turn out to have no "teeth" to them, causing little if any effect on the audio, which is strong and Near Mint, both sides.
