Needles and Pins/ Saturday Night Out

Here's a very nice copy of this classic hit single, including its remarkable picture sleeve, which touts that the Searchers are "The group ... that knocked The Beatles out of first place in England!" This is the sleeve that shows "Saturday Night Out" on the flip, and the record itself has that song on the B side. (This release also appears with "Ain't That Just Like Me" on the flip.) Note: The 45 itself has strong-EX-looking labels with light ringwear and a small numbered sticker on the B side. The vinyl (styrene) has some light scuffing, grading a strong EX, but the audio sounds pristine Mint! The picture sleeve grades Near Mint overall but does have a small "16" penciled unobtrusively on each side. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
