Turn To Stone/ Rocky Mountain Way

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy. This rarely seen Joe Walsh single draws two nuggets from Walsh's past from a 1978 greatest hits album. The A side originally appeared on Walsh's album So What?, released right at the point where Walsh joined the Eagles to provide the band a second—and punchier—lead guitar. So it's not surprising the the A side features a slew of Eagles on backing vocals: Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Randy Meisner. This second release has the full (even longer than the 3:47 album version) version rather than a 3:30 edit as on the 1974 single. Chart-wise, it didn't do as well as the 1974 release, which only hit #93. The B side is the full version of "Rocky Mountain Way" rather than the specially edited version from the 1973 45. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
