Border Song/ Bad Side of the Moon

This was John's first U.S. chart single, though it barely scraped the top 100. Aretha Franklin's cover did much better. Also note the very powerful rocker on the B side with great orchestration by Paul Buckmaster; this is a non-LP cut... the first of many to be featured on Elton John 45's. This song did, however, appear on John's 1971 live album, 11/17/70. Note: This promo copy comes in a vintage Uni Records factory sleeve. The audio is a very strong EX, but does have some slight surface noise on the A side.
