The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down/ When Time Is Stolen

What a perfect, yet surprising, cover of the Band classic this was! I'll bet even Robbie Robertson was surprised, though pleased. Together with Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans" the following year, it provided a neat "bookend" for the brief ascendency of Folk Rock in U.S. pop music in the early 1970s. Note: This beautiful 45 grades close to Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), with powerful audio free from distortion and with just minimal surface noise.
