Product Information

(C45s)Takin' Care Of Business/ Stonegates by Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Label: Mercury 73487 Year: 1974
Factory sleeve included
Condition: M $12.50

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original factory sleeve. 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 Billboard 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: Aside from the drillhole, this 45 record is pristine Mint!
