Think about if you were from the UK where it was released there in late
1956 with "Long Tall Sally" as the flip side. No one could ever top that
as a two sided single!

This was Richard's SECOND single released in UK and it came out here in
January 1957.
("Rip It Up"/"Ready Teddy" was his first UK single and that one was from
November 1956)
Note the US source label is shown as SPECIALITY on the original London
label
