In the pantheon of great psychedelic rock, this has got to be one of the best two-fers around! I can't help but rejoice when I find a copy worthy of selling on Classic 45s... and this one's a real beauty. Stephen Stills' "Bluebird" was the chart side of this 45, but Neil Young's "Mr. Soul" is just as — if not more — essential. The single is also a study in how compact rock songs still were in 1967: "Mr. Soul" clocks in at only 2 minutes, 35 seconds. Even more surprising, "Bluebird" is actually just under 2 minutes, at 1:59! I checked the original album, and it turns out that the version of "Bluebird" on the single is an edited version that's
less than half the length of the album cut, which is about 4 1/2 minutes long. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. Aside from the drillhole, this copy's labels and vinyl grade very close to Mint, and the audio itself is pristine... both sides!
