This was the Chicago group's first chart single. In this case, "Don't Waste" was the originally intended A side, but it was "You Waited" that got airplay and generated sales, which is why we list it as the A side. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Cameo/Parkway Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels, and the vinyl grades a weak Near Mint as well, with some notable scuffs on "You Waited" side. The audio on "Don't Waste" sounds pristine, and that on "You Waited" close to Mint.
