House of the Rising Sun/ Drivin' Blues

Copies of this big 1970 early Metal hit are fairly common in the marketplace, but ones with pristine Mint audio are quite rare, because most pressings were on styrene rather than vinyl, and styrene, while capable of superior audio to vinyl, is notoriously fragile, so most pressings you find have damaged sound. Not this one! :-) By the way, this 45 has a specially edited version of a 4:44 album track. Note: This beautiful copy has a large drillhole and comes in a vintage Parrot/London Records factory sleeve. The vinyl (styrene) looks nearly untouched, and the audio sounds pristine Mint... simply awesome! (This scan is a representative image from our archives; it doesn't show the drillhole, which appears at the top to the right of "Parrot.")
