The single from Marvin's only LP on Palomar c.1965
The flip side is, 'Rainy Day In L.A.'
Jazz composer/pianist Marvin Jenkins started recording in the early 60s releasing a few of his own LPs while also playing and contributing on others' jazz recordings.
The Los Angeles Palomar record label released about fifteen other records, but only existed from 1963 to '65.
Marvin also had one another 45 on the Palomar label, 'I've Got The Blues (What Should I Do)'.

David Roback (1958-2020) & Hope Sandoval
One of those songs one might feel ends too soon. Perhaps a bit more of a straight forward acoustic folk sound than some of their others.
Singer/songwriter/guitarist David Roback's early Los Angeles based bands, The Rain Parade and Opal both had similar ethereal, melancholy-psych drone sounds as Mazzy Star. His writing skills, production and arrangements really crystallized with the exit of former Opal bassist and singer Kendra Smith in 1987.
The consequent addition of singer/songwriter Hope Sandoval in 1989 created Mazzy Star's distinct sound.
This song is included on their 1996 LP, 'Among My Swan'. Not sure how many 45s were pressed. 'I've Been Let Down' never charted. Released as a "jukebox only" single.
