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.

In 1968 CBS released a sampler album called the Rock Machine Turns you on. I loved it but it is long gone from my collection. Thought ‘d try and recreate it here on Youtube. Got 13 of 15 tracks. “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” by Bob Dylan and “Nobody’s Got Any Money In The Summer” by Roy Harper are missing as I can’t find them on Youtube. Later the same year they realesed “The Rock Machine I Love You”. I’ll try and dig that out soon.
