CINDERELLA (Pennsylvania, USA) – Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone) (7"inch) (1988) Released by Polygram/Mercury Records on Black vinyl POSTER SLEEVE (1st Canadian Pressing)
The CINDERELLA – Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone) 7" inch is a quintessential piece of 1980's power ballad history. Released in 1988 as the 2nd single from their multi-platinum album Long Cold Winter, this specific Canadian pressing is a staple for collectors of domestic North American Rock history.
While CINDERELLA was often grouped with the "Hair Metal" movement, this single highlights the bluesy, soulful foundations that set them apart from their peers.
A-Side: Widely considered one of the best-written ballads of the era, it peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received heavy rotation on MuchMusic and MTV.  B-Side: "Fire And Ice"
The Canadian Mercury pressings from the late 80's are known for being durable and having a clean, balanced output that handles the dynamic shift from the quiet piano intro to the crashing power chords of the chorus exceptionally well.  --  Mercury – 870 644-7
