I hope the mix I am getting on my computer is not as bad as I hear. The instrumental part of the mix it too loud. I like the song, but the mix is what I think was the reason it didn't make a hit here, even in Wheeling West Virginia, which is just across the river from where I live.
@zoobie75 - I once heared a radio announcer say it was recored in Sydney Australia on his first visit. He did it very quickly 1 or 2 takes then jumped on a plane back home. Was only intentded to be released in Aust? Thats all i got..
Certainly one of his best, and it was recorded at the Festival studio in Sydney in 1969. If you look closely at the record label you'll see it was co-produced by Pat Aulton, Festival's house producer from the late sixties through the first couple of years of the 70's. Not also the arranger... John Farrar! Thanks for posting this, they don't make them like this anymore!
I lived just south of Wheeling in Benwood and this is the first time I've heard this song, It's a
good song. Thanks for the post

Tis can be found on an album called the Lost 45's 1970. I got a copy from Red Eye Records in Sydney Australia. Lots of other rare gems on it too.
