Here's the original version of the song later made famous by Blood, Sweat & Tears. I often find it useful to remember Laura Nyro by reciting the many fabulous songs she wrote that became big hits by other artists. Besides "And When I Die," there were\r\n
\r\n- Stoney End (Barbra Streisand)\r\n
- Wedding Bell Blues (Fifth Dimension)\r\n
- Stoned Soul Picnic (Fifth Dimension)\r\n
- Save The Country (Fifth Dimension)\r\n
Blindness (Fifth Dimension)\r\nli:Save The Country (Fifth Dimension)\r\n- Eli's Coming (Three Dog Night)\r\n

Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and a couple of tiny marks on the A label, grading Near Mint (see scan). The vinyl also grades Near Mint, with a few light scuffs, as does the audio, reflecting some very light surface noise audible during the soft intro.
