Little useless trivia for ya: The flip-side of that 45 was "$13 Stella." I had a Stella guitar at the time that cost...you guessed it...$13. The action was so high as to be unplayable. Fastforward 40-some years. I'm walking downtown and there's a kid busking--with a beat to shit Stella. I didn't bother trying to explain what a 45 was.
OMG, I remember when that came out... Sigh...
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite rendition.
