That's what the promo I heard yesterday afternoon said. Guessing '77, it's most overdue (early July).
Let's get right to it.

OMG -- is this a looooong version of "Black Betty"??? this guitar break is new to me.  BOS on that basis alone; I was just about to call it a semi-Katrina.

Dang, got a phone call right at the beginning & missed the birthday club.

Double Dang, had the office to myself, with the expectation that my co-worker was coming a bit late & cranked up "Black Betty"...for all of 20 seconds before my co-worker came in.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. I'm not quite awake yet this am.

You misspelled cow orker, Mark.  I was amazed to see 1977 was the year for "Black Betty".  Seems a lot more 1970ish to me.  Guess it was kinda retro even when it came out.

It sure is, and the radio edit sucks in comparison.

You may have to add a field to your DB to indicate when a song is the loooong version and when it's not.

for you riff-rock afficionados, I guess it's cool, but for others, it's just more pain!
