Hello It's Me/ Open My Eyes

Here's a nice copy of the third pressing of this classic single. Though the A side is the band's most famous song and was a hit again for Nazz's guitarist and songwriter, Todd Rundgren, in 1973—in fact, it was Rundgren's biggest hit and only top 10 single—my personal fave is the terrific, snarly B side. Rundgren had clearly been listening to the Who, but that's OK: It's a great song and a great sound! That Nazz and SGC thought so, too, is evidenced by the fact that "Open My Eyes" was the original A side of the single when it was first released in 1968. As the chart information shows, "Eyes" charted nearly 6 months before "Hello" started up the chart. Note: This copy has beautiful, Near Mint labels, and the vinyl has only a few light scuffs. Audio on "Open My Eyes" is also Near Mint, but "Hello" has light surface noise that lowers the audio grade to EX. (The overall audio grade, EX+, is an average of the two sides.)
