I guarantee that the aforementioned item is a counterfeit.

Aside from the highly questionable use of shrinkwrap on a single circa 1964, what else gives it away?

The easiest way to detect the Oldies 45 fakes are the washed out or completely missing registered trademark symbol ®, above the "5".

Copies with flat (matte) labels are all fakes, too.
