I have recently discovered this 12" single on Elektra K12311 which I have had since new, having acquired it whilst working at a radio station. The disc is a conservative VG+ having, I suspect, never been played or at the very most once or twice and the reproduction is clean and almost flawless. I think there might be a hint of browning to the label but it is difficult to be sure due to the mottled label design. The outer sleeve, whilst still very much intact, has wear around the edges due to storage and could not be graded as high as the disc. There is also a black inner sleeve which I think must be the original as I would have had no reason to change it - unless of-course there was no inner sleeve and I added one to protect the disc. I might have done this but after almost 45 years I honestly can't remember!
The B side also sounds very clean and as good as the A. It is a duet with Etta James.
