My Musical Taste Is Better Than Yours, Part One

Welcome to Tracy's House of Hits, the first installment of an (extremely) irregular feature where I pull an old 45 out of storage and try to recall the history behind it.

Since this is the first installment, it seems appropriate to start with the first 45 I bought. I know this is the first because of the little "1" sticker on the sleeve (clever, eh?). As this was released in early 1969, I would have been 8 years old when I bought it, probably at the local Rexall drug store.

I like to think my taste was always immaculate, but others may disagree. Particularly a certain Brooklynite.

All hail the iPod, part 1
