    The album it's off of jumped up in price over the last few.
    Never knew there as a 45.
    I'm sure it's semi rare, but I dunno if it's $$RARE$$.

    Rey,

    It's not dollar-bin common but I don't think it's particularly rare. Personally, I'd buy it just so I could flip the LP since it's the only thing I'd really want off there.

    The version is diff. on the 45 though, no? At 3:15, they must have cut the LP version down.

    That might be of interest to some, I wouldn't mind hearing it. Is it edited, or does it just fade out at a specific point?

    It's been signed by Creed Taylor himself! It must be rare.

    Ah, that's what I was looking for--at $43.55 I guess it's not that rare...

    for play out travel purposes, and also the 45 mix gets right to the meat of the song.

    So the long opening gets cut? Isn't that the best part?

    if only there was a 12" with an extended break.
    i love this cover, but the singing is not something i love.

    Yeah, the intro is shorter on the 45. I kinda think the LP version is better overall, but agree - the 45 is useful enough to hold on to.

    This is truth. The Santana guitars could also go.

    The edit I made cut both out.
