Ball & Chain/ Where Have All The Good Times Gone?

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Geffen factory sleeve. Here's one of the rarest of the rare 45s ... at least, rare for Elton John. It's that rarest of species that failed to register on Bilozoard's Hot 100 singles chart! Which is a shame, because it's one of his catchiest singles, with Elton mining the Country Rock side of his personality. The track was culled from his excellent Jump Up album, which yielded the hits "Empty Garden" and "Blue Eyes." Pete Townsend does honors on the lead guitar, by the way. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
