Farmer John/ Duffy's Blues

Thankfully, the 45 version of this classic rocker edits out most of the irritating crowd noise that plods interminably (well, for 15 seconds anyway) by way of introducing the band, and instead begins shortly before the first downbeat. It clocks at 2:12 rather than the 2:27 you'll find on compilation albums. Note: This beautiful, Near Mint copy comes in a vintage Warner Bros. Records factory sleeve. The audio is graded Near Mint to reflect a bit of faint "static" you can hear if you listen for it, but it's not bad enough to lower the grade to EX.
