I had seen this single only one time at the same trip to maintown where I saw also Made In Usa first time. I didnīt buy it also and felt a little harm afterwards. Then I heard Flower about two years ago from Youtube, It was live version. I realised I have had it on the cassette from Roskilde Gig. I thought then it was not very good song as the most of the sonic single songs arenīt (that are not in the albums). I hadnīt ever heard Sonic version of Halloween, but I thought it was also dull song because Mudhoney made so boring version of it.
Last weekend there were that big record happening in my hometown. And that 12 " was there. At first I wasnīt going to buy it, because it was quite expensive (25 euros, maybe itīt about 30 dollars). But there were not so much albums for sale that I was interested in, so it was my last buying. What a suprise when I put it to my record player!!! It is just great, that etheric Sonic style that is heard a lot in Bad Moon Rising and EVOL!!! Definitely best Sonic single!!! Now the only Sonic vinyl release that I want is Kill Yr Idols!
By the way I found also the first us pressing of Raw Power! There is a black-andwhite pictures of Iggys face in the paper bag (same as in the cover, but itīs enlargement). And the vinyl is in very good condition!!! I had it before only in cassette.
