She's Walking Away/ Big Brother

It's been so many years since I've had a copy of this amazing single, a Beatlesque foray into the style that would become known as Power Pop. What distinguishes it in particular from the Buddy Holly-influenced vocals it shares with "Sheila" by Tommy Roe is that spectacular electric guitar bridge -- one of the hallmarks of great Power Pop. This song is just so great I had to quickly make an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear. Although the A label (the B label is Near Mint) has significant ringwear and the vinyl is fairly scuffed up, the audio sounds very close to Mint.
