The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face/ Trade Winds

This powerful recording was one of the songs on Flack's 1969 debut album, and was revived to become her first big hit in 1972 after being featured in the Clint Eastwood thriller, Play Misty For Me. The single is specially edited from a 5:21 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and very nearly Mint-looking vinyl. The audio grades Near Mint overall, but be prepared for two light "pops" at the beginning and a minimum of surface noise in the quiet segments.
