What a great record! If you've forgotten why Dave Marsh might put "Needles and Pins" by the Searchers at #239 in his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock & Soul, have a listen to the brief snippet I'm adding to our "jukebox!" Those opening guitar chords sound like something Roger McGuinn will concoct for a Byrds song in 1965, evoking Chuck Berry's description of how Johnny B. Goode could "play a guitar just like ringing a bell." Note: This copy comes in a vintage Kapp Records factory sleeve. It looks very close to Mint (Labels, Vinyl) and has gorgeous, pristine Mint soound.
