It's extraordinarily difficult to find a Near Mint (or better) copy of this single nowadays. Besides Dave Marsh's top-20 ranking of the classic A side, the B side ranks at #872 in Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made. By the way, that B side is specially edited from a 3:55 album track. Note: This like-new copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It has powerful, pristine Mint sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archive; it doesn't show the drillhole, which appears just above "45 RPM" on the label.
