Never been an obsessed collector of 7"s, so I've got very little that's impressive, probably not even 10 worth stealing!

1.MX-80 Sound, Big Hits/Hard Pop From The Hoosiers EP (BAR-B-Q)
2.MX-80 Sound, Big Hits/Hard Pop From The Hoosiers EP (Gulcher, blue label)
3.MX-80 Sound, Big Hits/Hard Pop From The Hoosiers EP (Gulcher, white label)
Yeah, so I'm a fanatic.
4.Howlin' Wolf, "Evil" b/w "Tail Dragger" (single from his psychedelic album, which he hated, w/Pete Cosey on guitar)
5.The Who, "I Can't Explain" b/w "Bald Headed Woman"
6.Thirteenth Floor Elevators, "You're Gonna Miss Me"
7.Parliaments, "Testify" b/w "I Can Feel The Ice Melting"
8.The Byrds, "Eight Miles High"
9.Bob Dylan, "I Want You"

The last two were 1966 singles which became much less collectable in the '90s when their rare B-sides were finally reissued on CD.

When was that b-side released on CD? Just in Japan, no?
