Once Upon A Time/ When My Baby Is Gone

This is a beautiful copy from the Louise Neal collection. The A side includes the credit 'With Johnny Wyatt.' This is a heartbreakingly beautiful doo-wop ballad. This release credits "Jimmy Johnson" as A side writer; others credit "J. Wyatt." Note: This 45 is among those in the Neal collection that she may have actually played, and which sadly spent some of their life outside a protective sleeve. The 45s in this category may have more noticeable storage wear (ringwear and scuffs/scratches), and the audio may not be pristine due to imperfect grooves. In this case, the labels and vinyl (styrene) are Near Mint, reflecting very light storage wear; the A side label is almost flawless (see scan). The audio grades Near Mint, reflecting a combination of basically pristine audio riding above some very light surface noise that's occasionally audible. This is the nicest copy of this Doo Wop classic that I've had the privilege of owning!
