They are best remembered for their hit song, \"A Thousand Miles Away\", which has been covered by numerous artists and continues to resonate in today's pop culture.

This one has silver print on a red label, with the Rama logo surrounded by clouds at the top. By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This 45 record has Mint labels... really gorgeous! The vinyl has some light scuffing, grading below Near Mint, but the strong audio sounds Near Mint with just a touch of underlying surface noise.
