Steve G Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Anyone know when this was first released as a single in the USA. I know when"Winter In America" LP was issued, but the 45?
The Tempest Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Both came out in 74’ - the single was the only release from the album - the single reaching no. 15 in the charts - so am guessing the album came first and the popularity of the track at the time resulted in the single being released ….
The Tempest Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Single was recorded Oct 1973 - Album released - May 1974 ….
Steve G Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 Hello Tempest, I know the album came out in 74 but as far as I can see the US single didn't chart until 1977, which is why I asked the question. Obviously we also have the French single clouding things which came out in 74-5. But it is the US single release date I am interested in.
Tagtag Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 The Bottle was released in 1977 on Arista 7", maybe that is why it charted in that year. The Strata East 7" states 1974 on the label. 1
Steve G Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 It does indeed (I only have the French PS rather than the US copy), thanks.
