This week's 12" SOTW is an extended version of Herb Alpert's "Rotation." Notable for this release are custom labels on each side, and a clear vinyl pressing. The "hit" side worked into the graphics of the packaging, for which the clear vinyl also contributed to the effect (inside printing shows through). Unfortunately, clear vinyl does not wear well (being a bit softer than black vinyl back in the day), and the sleeve had an oversized opening that exposed some of the grooves to the elements. So, it will be difficult to find a clean copy of this unless it has been stored in a better sleeve.
The flip side is the album track "Angelina," and the label on this side gives the credits for the songs on both sides.
Luckily, I found this version on YouTube for those who have not yet heard it. The image in the video appears to be on a red vinyl pressing; you can tell from the catalog numbers that it is an overseas release.
