Condition & notes

In Very Good condition. Cover with mild shelf wear and light toning, a few small specks along left edge. Pages lightly toned, small mark in left margin of p. 4, otherwise unmarked. Carly Simon's single from her 1975 Elektra album Playing Possum, words and music by Simon and Jacob Brackman. The single reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 18 on the adult contemporary chart, with Carole King on backing vocals; Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone called it the most exciting Carly Simon cut since "You're So Vain." Cover photograph matches the album's controversial Norman Seeff cover image.
