Both sides of this classic 45 are credited to Roy Orbison and The Candy Men. It's worth noting that this single is on both the Dave Marsh (#39) and Rolling Stone magazine's (#224) "top 45s" lists. An essential single for a complete collection, for sure ... and this is perhaps the nicest, reference-Mint copy I've run across yet. This copy's audio is so gorgeous I had to make an mp3 file for the "jukebox"... so have a listen! Nothing like the audio on this original 45. I wish Orbison had actually joined a band like the Candymen. He needed a great rock band behind him, but never really found one until the Traveling Wilbury's sessions shortly before he died. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Monument Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
