It reached the US top ten in 1967 but it was never actually a hit in the UK, which probably accounts for the fact that while everybody knows the song, a lot of people can't quite put their finger on what it is, exactly.

It was on the original Island Records sampler LP which I had in the late sixties along with Meet on the Ledge (Fairport Convention) and Rainbow Chaser (Nirvana). The cover had a group photo of all of the artistson the LP. Can anyone remember any of the other tracks?

It was actually a minor hit twice over for Oui 3 as well, reaching No.28 in the spring of 1993 with a remixed version faring slightly better (No.26) later in the year.

Many, many thanks for that smorodina. Brings back lots of happy memories.
