MINT 1971 45 RPM Promo Single - American Pie NEVER PLAYED mono first release

$

20

Description

Like all my records, this one came home with me from the radio station in 1971 and went into storage, where it has remained ever since. I was a music director at radio stations all over the country from 1967 to 1997, and part of my job was ordering copies of records we played on the air.  (We actually played them back in the day, and wore them out!)  I'd always order an extra one for my "collection."  More of a hoard than a collection, but it gives you-the real collector-a chance to have a perfect copy of many hits which have never been touched by the phonograph needle.  The sleeves are sometimes wrinkled a bit, thanks to storing the singles in narrow 45 boxes, but the picture will give you their exact condition. It's a shame this picture sleeve became so wrinkled in storage, but if you need the original American Pie as released to radio, you can't beat this one!  You'll note it's a mono short version, designed to get played by the powerful AM Top 40 stations in the early 70s which were NOT going to play an 8 and a half minute song. (Later they would!) BTW, the single is the same on both sides.
