Title: Not the original singles
Product review: Just be aware that "Hitchin' A Ride" and "Early in the Morning" are not the original 45 single versions, they either are stereo rerecordings or remixes. The original of "Hitchin' A Ride" can be found on other compilations (try Rhino's "'70s Smash Hits, Vol. 2" for the extended 3:09 version - the original 45 is 2:37), orThe Best of Vanity Fare. The only original version of "Early in the Morning" on any of the CD or MP3 albums, including the various collection cds that have this song (based on reviewing the sound clips) appears to be on the expensive (CD only) "The Best of Vanity Fare [Import]" (The Best of Vanity Fare) - the original 45 time is 2:52 (label: Page One 21,027).Update: as noted in the comments to this review, the original version of "Early in the Morning" is available on Eric Records' "Hard To Find 45s On CD: Sugar Pop Classics, Volume 11" - which I also now have, and the time there is 2:52.
