Description: This is an exceptionally rare and potentially one-of-a-kind misprinted 45 rpm single of Janis Joplin’s iconic “Me and Bobby McGee” and “Get It While You Can,” released by Columbia Records in 1971. This unique error mislabels “Me and Bobby McGee” as “Get It While You Can” and vice versa on the record’s labels. Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” is one of her most celebrated tracks, written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster. It became a posthumous #1 hit in 1971, immortalizing her raw emotional power and solidifying her legacy in the rock and blues genres. Meanwhile, “Get It While You Can” is another standout from her Pearl album, showcasing her soulful voice and poignant lyricism. Misprints such as this are rare, but the added manual corrections by a previous owner give this item an even more unique history. This is a true collector’s gem for fans of Janis Joplin and vinyl enthusiasts. Details: •Artist: Janis Joplin •Tracks: •“Me and Bobby McGee” (misprinted as “Get It While You Can”) •“Get It While You Can” (misprinted as “Me and Bobby McGee”) •Release Year: 1971 •Label: Columbia Records (13-33205) •Condition: Vinyl is in very good condition with light wear.
