Takin' Care Of Business/ Stonegates

It's hard to believe now that this classic Hard Rock single didn't break into the Top 10 back in 1974. My recollection is that it took awhile to climb the national Bilozoard chart, but hung around a long time. That suggests that it may have done much better in individual markets than it did nationally. Certainly, it did where I grew up (Louisville, KY). Whatever, I love the way the band totally rocks out on this song... one of their best! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Philips/Mercury/Vertigo Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl (styrene) and audio. The A side audio is Mint, but the B side has a few bits of surface noise as the needle traverses a small abrasion near the beginning. The overall audio grade is an average of the two sides.
