Estuviste Enamorada Demasiado Tiempo = You've Been In Love Too Long / Todo El Mundo Grita Piedad = Everybody's Cryin' Mercy

Released in 1974 by the Argentine label Music Hall, this single serves as a localized pressing for the South American market. It pairs the track 'You've Been In Love Too Long,' originally a hit for Martha and the Vandellas, with 'Everybody's Cryin' Mercy,' a Mose Allison cover that appeared on Bonnie Raitt's 1973 album, Takin' My Time. The release reflects the common practice of the era where international record labels licensed and repackaged North American folk and blues material to broaden the reach of emerging singer-songwriters in the Latin American music scene.

The design of this specific 7-inch release follows the minimalist aesthetic standard for Music Hall's international catalog, prioritizing functional typography and clear artist attribution over elaborate cover art. While Raitt was gaining significant momentum in the United States as a blues-influenced guitarist and vocalist during the mid-1970s, this pressing represents the peripheral distribution efforts that helped solidify her international footprint. It remains a notable artifact for collectors interested in how blues and soft rock were curated for global markets outside of the artist's home territory.
