The B-Side "Ridin' Horse"

As you can hear, the only other known copy of this record has lots of wear and is barely audible through the record wear and surface noise. The copy sold on eBay is reportedly in pristine condition and the buyer plans to digitally restore the recording.

"An Angel Is Missing" Ronnie (James) Dio (1958)

(Somehow, the logo typeface, the label and it's typeface scream a custom pressing by Capitol for Seneca....just an educated record collector observation. If not, then it's one of the best damn imitations I've ever seen.)

You aren't a TRUE Dio fan if you don't know this one. And yes, it's from 1958.

This is the original version of this song by Crow. You might know this song better through Black Sabbath's cover version.
