Silver Heels:
You said the 45rpm was "The Circle is Small" in 1969. How does that version sound different compared to the later version on ENDLESS WIRE? Is it longer or shorter in length? Is it available on any CD? I'd like to hear the original version, its one of my favorites & one of his most personal songs. Do you like the '69 version or '78 version better? (Maybe you can e-mail me a MP3 of song??) Do you know why the song didn't get popular in 1969...& why was it finally released in a different version 9 years later?

"...I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned & I die..."
