While digging around to find tracks for the Rock Machine collections I came across this track from 1966. As a 13 or 14 year old I first heard this listening under the covers (assuming my parents couldn’t hear) to John Peel on Radio London. He played this track and I went out to buy it. Astonishingly my local record shop (Bakers Records, long since gone) couldn’t get hold of if and I never did end up buying it. Nice to hear it again only 44 years on.
