Country Junky/ I Remember John W. Coltrane

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. Kool & the Gang had only a handful of picture sleeves with their 45s... this was the first. You gotta admit it's hideous, but it's still a cool collectable that has the song's full lyrics printed on the back. This is one of only a handful of the band's releases that failed to get enough airplay and sales to hit the National charts. Note: The 45 itself is pristine Mint all around. The picture sleeve grades Near Mint with a touch of top-edge wear.
