This 1977 release was first pressed on A&M 1991. The A side was the duo's "new" Christmas tune, with their "first" one on the B side. "Merry Christmas Darling" was a #1 Christmas hit for several years in the 1970s, starting with its first release on A&M 1236 in 1970. This is the second pressing, with the same catalog number, on the green/orange A&M Forget-Me-Nots label. The picture sleeve grades EX+ to reflect some top edge wear. The 45 record has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl. The audio is very close to Mint. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
