Louie Louie/ Haunted Castle

You know, it's harder than you might think to find a Near Mint or better copy of this 1963 classic. Despite the popularity of this single, most originals you run across aren't exactly "suitable for framing" (or for listening, more importantly). This is only the fourth or fifth truly collectible specimen I've run across in over 45 years of hunting now, and I'm delighted to offer it in the store! Do note that both Rolling Stone magazine and Dave Marsh rate this single near the top their respective lists of the greatest 45s (#11 on Dave Marsh's top 1,001 and #54 on Rolling Stone's top 500). Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Wand Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl (styrene), and the grooves preserve pristine Mint sound... a real sonic treat!
