I'm Into Something Good/ Your Hand In Mine

Here's a beautiful copy of Herman's Hermits' excellent debut single, which went to #1 in the U.K., becoming their only chart-topper there. Is this their best single? It's certainly a contender. "Something Good" — yet another terrific Carole King - Gerry Goffin song — was originally recorded (in a good but inferior version) by Earl-Jean. The Hermits version benefits from Mickie Most's spare, precise and powerful production aesthetic and a great beat, earning a 2-star recommendation from us (our highest) and a nice snippet in our online "jukebox." (FYI, this pressing does not have the Tony Romeo signature in the trail-off wax, as a different pressing does.) Note: This copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It grades Near Mint in all respects (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
