American Tune/ One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Columbia factory sleeve. This third single from Paul Simon's second solo album, "There Goes Rhymin' Simon," is incredibly hard to find in decent condition. It wasn't a big hit like the previous two singles ("Kodachrome" and "Loves Me Like A Rock"), but as a song, it tops both of those, IMHO, and doesn't get nearly enough play. As one of Simon's very best songs, I give the single two stars (our highest recommendation). According to Joel Whitburn, the music is based on J.S. Bach's 'O Sacred Heart.' Note: This beautiful 45 record has Mint labels and even more important — Mint audio! This song is just so incredibly beautiful in so many ways, it's great to hear it pure and strong with no distractions. The vinyl (styrene) grades very close to Mint, with just a few faint signs of storage wear.
