Funk #49/ Thanks

This, the group's first single to crack the Hot 100, was a new version of Funk #48, which they released the previous year on Bluesway. Both are to-die-for classics of guitar rock, showcases for Joe Walsh. On this pressing, the title is spelled "Funk No. 49" rather than "Funk #49." Though not mentioned on the label, the Mono-mix 45 has a superior, edited version of a longer album track (the 45 edit is about 30 seconds shorter). Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC Records factory sleeve.
