The first time I heard this song was on an album called The Rock Machine Turns You On which I bought in late 1968 for 15/7 yes that's seven old pennies and the horrible price label that left a dirty sticky mark on the cover when peeled off! I amazed at the people (in UK) that are claiming to have had (or been familiar with) the record in 1967 as it was not released in the UK until 1968 CBS63241 and in the US only a short time before on December 27th 1967! Is this some sort of one-up-manship?
