 Here's a beautiful copy of The Shangri-Las' iconic first hit single, which preceded "Leader of the Pack." Producer Jeff Barry clearly was influenced by writer George Morton's vision of teen angst, which is expressed here in one of its most impressively rendered recordings. Note: This copy's labels have no ringwear but a tiny bit of "bubbling," which is why the Label grade is Near Mint. The vinyl (styrene) has a Near Mint appearance as well, with only very light, superficial storage-related scuffing. The audio is very nearly, but not quite, perfect: No distortion to speak of, but I heard 2 light "pops" in one of the quiet segments.
