GENESIS
Ripples b/w It’s Yourself
1976 Italy 7” single
@ #45rpm
One of two wonderful 7” single finds from the California trip.
This is very hard to come by, and I can’t believe I found it in a box with a 3.99 (U.S.) sticker on it.
Both of these songs are very unique in the forms that they appear here.
THIS version of “Ripples” is a tighter, more radio-friendly mix with the extended instrumental part removed.
The best thing about this is the B-Side.
Every other released version of “It’s Yourself” after this (2000, 2007) appears HEAVILY edited.
The last part of the song is missing from both versions, but is completely intact here.
A wonderful, RANDOM picture sleeve find from Left Of The Dial Records in Orange, California.
