I've Been Lonely Too Long/ If You Knew

Would you believe that in 12 years of business, this is only the third copy of this Rascals classic I've been able to offer for sale? As a collector, I sought it for years as one of the 1,001 singles on Dave Marsh's list of the greatest 45s in Rock'n'Soul. Credited to The Young Rascals. Note: This copy comes with a vintage Atlantic Records sleeve. The audio has very light surface noise but sounds near-mint overall. The A label has a small "Maureen" written on it, and the B label has light ringwear.
