This record is quite rarely seen, the promo as well as the other red label commercial pressing are styrene pressings. But for the whole take (with that beautiful cold ending) you actually should check out this 1991 UK 12″

Mar-V-Lus Records – 6002 * Vinyl *  7″ * 45rpm * USA * Dec 1964

one of the first tracks that can be seen as proto funk music from 1964, alvin cash’s classic r&b teen dance tune twine time.
andre williams who produced that recording unfortunately did not pay too much attention for a decent sound at that time, still this one remains a landmark in the evolution of soul music.
always loved this pop art label design a lot!
