Here's a beautiful Mint copy of the third pressing of this classic single. Though the A side is the band's most famous song and was a hit again for Nazz's guitarist and songwriter, Todd Rundgren, in 1973—in fact, it was Rundgren's biggest hit and only top 10 single—my personal fave is the terrific, snarly B side. Rundgren had clearly been listening to the Who, but that's OK: It's a great song and a great sound! That Nazz and SGC thought so, too, is evidenced by the fact that "Open My Eyes" was the original A side of the single when it was first released in 1968. As the chart information below shows, "Eyes" charted nearly 6 months before "Hello" started up the chart. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage Atlantic/Atco/Cotillion Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
