  Seven Songs for the Week #153 - 11th Mar 26

  Jason Carty

  Back in the 1990s, I went through a period of time trying to remember and find out what this song was. This was a tricky thing to do at the time. I could remember the tune and the vibe, but had no idea of the group or the specific title of the song. I can't remember how I landed on it eventually, but I picked up a budget CD compilation with it eventually. I must have first encountered it on Sixties Mania, a mid-1980s compilation with 40 fabulous 1960s hits which, in retrospect, had a big impact on my listening tastes. Checking the track listing now, it did also feature Concrete and Clay. Formative!

  I discovered today that this track is actually a cover version, the original came out a year earlier by the Bystanders and did not chart. The Bystanders became the group Man.
