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!"

Goode could "play a guitar just like ringing a bell." Note: This copy comes in a vintage Kapp Records factory sleeve. The labels and vinyl exhibit light storage wear, grading Near Mint. Despite a scuffy-looking vinyl surface, the audio is so close to perfect I'm grading it Mint. (Have a listen to the mp3 snippet to hear what I mean.)
