The Chiffons were most famous for their 1963 hits "He's So Fine"  and "One Fine Day". The former became even more famous when George Harrison recorded "My Swee Lord" in 1970 and The Chiffons' producers filed a copyright infringement suit against Harrison.

After this single the group still had one US Top 10 hit with "Sweet Talking Guy" (US #10, UK #31). When that was re-issued in the UK in 1972, it climbed all the way to UK #4.

Laurie's second pressing of this record had "The Real Thing" as the flip-side. The catalog number was still the same.

List price:  Very Good+ is $6, Near Mint is $12. The second pressing has the same list prices.
