She's Walking Away/ Big Brother

It's been so many years since I've had a copy of this amazing single, a Beatlesque foray into the style that would become known as Power Pop. What distinguishes it in particular from the Buddy Holly-influenced vocals it shares with "Sheila" by Tommy Roe is that spectacular electric guitar bridge — one of the hallmarks of great Power Pop. This song is just so great I had to quickly make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. For although the A label (the B label is nearly pristine) has significant ringwear, the vinyl looks nearly untouched, and the audio is pristine — so close to perfection I had to make a new recording to replace the one I made way back in 2005.
