'"Too Young to Love"' is the debut single by The Big Pink. "Too Young to Love" was released with the double A-side track "Crystal Visions" on 7" vinyl on October 7, 2008, and both tracks were later re-recorded and included on their debut album 'A Brief History of Love' in September 2009. The song was self-produced by the band, and the single was a limited edition pressing of only 500 copies.[http://www.dummymag.com/next/2009/02/11/the-big-pink-where-can-noise-go-/ The Big Pink "Where Can Noise Go?" | Dummy Magazine] [http://www.discogs.com/Big-Pink-Too-Young-To-Love/release/1908989 Big Pink, The - Too Young to Love (7", Single, Ltd) at Discogs] The sleeve features a homoerotic photograph by Dennis Cooper as its cover. Similarly, a limited edition 12" single for "Too Young to Love," released in Japan only on April 1, 2009, features more of Cooper's photography as its cover.[http://www.discogs.com/Big-Pink-Too-Young-To-Love/release/1841546 Big Pink, The - Too Young to Love (12") at Discogs] The 12" also features an early version of "Count Backwards from Ten," which was also re-recorded for the debut album, and the exclusive non-album track "With You."
