Hello It's Me/ Open My Eyes

Here's a beautiful 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 comes in a vintage Atlantic/Atco/Cotillion Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels, and the vinyl has only some light scuffs. The audio grades Near Mint with hardly any surface noise and no distortion on the B side but a bit more surface noise on the quiet A side.
