Original Classics (in conjunction with Ali-Heck Slop, UK.) presents:

The Merry Go Round (feat. Emitt Rhodes) - You're a Very Lovely Woman/Live! (mono mix)
A&M LP 132

The debut of Emitt Rhodes as a force to reckon with, "You're a Very Lovely Woman/Live!" is, according to some sources, a thrown-together collection of singles and demoes, much like the Left Banke's "Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina" (but unlike The Turtles' "You Baby/Let Me Be" and "Happy Together/She'd Rather Be With Me"). The Merry-Go-Round itself didn't last very long, giving way to Rhodes's much-celebrated solo career after a mere one album and a few singles.

"You're a Very Lovely Woman/Live!" only recently came back into print on CD via Rev-Ola's wonderful "Listen Listen: The Definitive Collection;" before that, it was only available on a very-hard-to-find Japanese A&M CD.

The jewel of this collection is "You're a Very Lovely Woman," which differs markedly in its mono single mix. "Time Will Show the Wiser" is also very different, but "Woman" is not otherwise available in digital.
