Trivia note: From the time Elton John first hit the top 40 with 'Your Song' in 1970, this is the only single he released that failed to reach the top 40 until 'Heartache All Over the World' in 1986. But it's still got to be one of his best and most loved. I'm sure one reason it failed to do better is that it was (!) over 6 minutes long. The promo release did have a severely edited version, but it didn't have the same impact. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Uni Records factory sleeve. The labels are have some wear where a sticker was removed on each side; on the A side, there's just a little "bubbling" on the label (see scan), but on the B side there's a small tear. The vinyl looks hardly touched, and the audio grades a solid Near Mint, with a minimum of light surface noise audible early on. It's been ages since I had an original release of this great 45 record with audio this good!
