No images available.Originally released on Parrot 9749. Now out of print... Last Mint copies. This reissue is a very strange pairing that reflects poorly on whoever was in charge of deciding the A and B sides of Collectables' large reissue series over the years. The company displayed no consistent guiding principles in building out its extensive catalog, a process one must assume was driven partly by the desire to keep in print the great music of its day (while of course making money for the reissue company as well as the music license holders). The company didn't even seem to care what information from the original 45s label should be preserved on their reissues: Writer credits? Producer credits? Track time? Actual title, or one Collectables made up? Actual or Collectables-abbreviated artist name? At one time or another, Collectables-branded reissues followed one or more of the following apparent principles for determining A and B sides of each release, some of which, if consistently applied, would have been laudable, but the complete lack of consistency produced a sometimes laughably out-of-touch pairing (such as this one, with Them and the Walker Bros.) that is so odd one struggles to even see a financial benefit to Collectables (that is, they could have made more money by putting each of these terrific recordings on its own 45, paired with a song that each artist's audience might likely find pleasing): - Each reissue should mirror the original release... Same A and B sides.
- Each reissue should contain two of the biggest hits from each artist's catalog, preferably two from the same time-frame (in the case of long-lived artists like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, or the Rolling Stones); the goal of this strategy is to keep the artist's most popular hits in print, and to judge the 45 reissue catalog partly based on sales and continued airplay of the artist's work.
- For artists that may have had only one or two hits deemed to have sufficient demand to warrant pressing on vinyl, the reissue catalog should be geared toward pairing songs and artists from similar or the same genre and time period, on the theory that sales will flow to reissue 45s with the "most bang for the buck" as perceived by the collector. If an artist had only two hits, for example, the best reissue will be the one that has both of them on it.
- Another strategy for a diverse catalog of licensed music is to pair music based on the song's original record label. One approach Collectables (and others) has used is to spread an artist's catalog onto several 45s, each with a non-related (by genre) hit that would not necessarily appeal to fans of the first artist.
- Reach into an artist's or genre's catalog and bring to light the wealth of less well known music that's worth preserving on 7-inch, 45rpm records. (Yes, some Collectables reissues do this.)
- Use an apparently random approach for deciding what two songs and/or artists to pair in constructing a reissue catalog.
