River Deep-Mountain High/ Listen, Learn, Read On

This great release presents both tracks in true Stereo, still in its infancy on 45 rpm. (It wasn't until 1972-73 that you could could on 45 releases being in Stereo by default, and record companies provided Mono mixes of every release on their promo 45s by default until about 1980, when it began to fade away, and promos eventually came to typically have the same Stereo mix on both sides. Fortunately, there are lots of fun exceptions in the world of promo 45s!) The flip is a psychedelic rock track with lots of complicated time changes, melodies, and arrangement twists... well worth a visit! The A side, by the way, is a dramatically edited version of a 10:05 album track. Note: This beautiful copy has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl (styrene), Audio). (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have the pictured factory sleeve.)
