I'm slowly going through the stuff I brought back from my late sister's house last Fall, and this morning I opened a 45 record case to discover my own singles from before I left home in '73.
How many of these songs do you remember?
All I Really Want to Do by the Byrds (their cover of a Dylan song) with I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better on the B-side
My Back Pages by the Byrds (another Dylan cover) with Renaissance Fair on the flip side
