Ride Away/ Wondering

This is one of Orbison's best songs, yet is hardly ever played these days and wasn't a big hit when released. By the time he moved to MGM from Monument, the singer's star had begun to wane, and 1964's "Oh, Pretty Woman" was his last (and biggest) Top 10 hit. Still, this single hit the Top 30, higher than any of his later MGM singles. Note: The Near Mint picture sleeve has an equally great photo of the artist on the B side, showing him zooming away on a motorcycle! All of the MGM sleeves are pretty hard to find. The labels are pristine Mint, and the vinyl looks almost untouched. However, the audio grades a strong EX to reflect light surface noise occasionally audible.
