They were a great band, almost married the drummer....they were from Northlake. The women weren't in the band later, it was just Ralph, Pete, John and Willie......
Not complaining, because they did a great job on this cover.....HOWEVER, Mainstream boss Bob Shad, stole the idea and composition from the Concern's lable mates, The Jelly Bean Bandits, who had presented it to Shad as part of their now famous "three track demo".....
and ask me how I know..........!!
Never the less, They did a fantastic job on the tune that will stand up to anything in today's market....
@1fables Hi There!! I think The Jelly Bean Bandits LP is AMAZING!! Just love it!! I have bathed in the NEON RIVER many times!! I have been trying to get hold of the Live album 'other sides of the Mirror' for ages,i live in scotland ,any ideas please!!!
I have this on the original vinyl and it has the fattest sound you could ever imagine, and I agree with Mr Scrot, this version is the definitive version :)
Absolutely stunning cover of the Hollies song, along with Music Emporium, Search Party, Yankee Dollar, Jefferson Airplane..........this is musical Heaven !!

This version blows away The Hollies' version, with all due respect; a la Hendrix nailing his own version of "...Watchtower".
This song would be a great mix tape/CD opener for a 1968 mix. Great song!
