Albatross - Fleetwood Mac

'Albatross' was released on a red vinyl 12" single for Record Store Day earlier this year. Obviously this was on the occasion of the fact that the single was originally released 55 years ago. It's a curious choice because both tracks aren't especially long, so why press a 12" single? It must have been inspired by the higher price you could give the item. Record companies simply think that way. 

To be honest, I am more content with this original single of 'Albatross', which features the same two tracks. I already own this single, with two of the band's early hits, but nothing beats the original release, of course. 

My collection: 7" single no. 7026
Found: Record fair, Den Haag, 10 September 2023
Tracks: 'Albatross' / 'Jigsaw puzzle blues'
